Utility service
Use utility service to define the starting requirement for electrical planning for new construction.
What to know before you get started.
Service, equipment, room layouts, lighting, controls, low-voltage boundaries, and inspection milestones should be coordinated before rough-in. For electrical planning for new construction, this guide explains the decisions that can change the best approach for a specific property.
Make the decisions that affect rough scope
Service, equipment, room layouts, lighting, controls, low-voltage boundaries, and inspection milestones should be coordinated before rough-in.
Load schedule
Review load schedule alongside the existing electrical system and available routes in electrical planning for new construction.
Floor plans
Let floor plans guide equipment selection, placement, and operating expectations in electrical planning for new construction.
Check the existing system against the plan
Electrical planning for new construction should account for the panel, service, circuits, access, equipment instructions, and known future loads before a preferred scope is selected.
Equipment selections
Review equipment selections for a capacity, route, or protection requirement in electrical planning for new construction.
Lighting controls
Use lighting controls to sequence electrical planning for new construction with other equipment, trades, or building work.
Inspection milestones
Account for inspection milestones so electrical planning for new construction remains useful after the immediate project is complete.
Separate required work from useful options
A clear electrical planning for new construction plan distinguishes the work needed for the selected outcome from upgrades, alternates, and future phases.
Required now
For electrical planning for new construction, identify what utility service requires before the planned equipment or space can operate as intended.
Useful alternate
For electrical planning for new construction, compare another route or equipment choice when load schedule leaves more than one workable path.
Future phase
For electrical planning for new construction, preserve a later option when inspection milestones matters but does not belong in the current scope.
