Rough-In Walk

This is your “Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace” moment.

The Rough-In Walk is the single most important meeting you will have with your electrician. Why? Because right now, moving a switch box six inches to the left takes me five minutes and costs you zero dollars.

Once the drywall is up, that same move costs you $500 in demolition, patching, painting, and fishing wire.

The Strategy: Don’t just walk the room looking for code compliance—that’s my job. You need to walk the room looking for lifestyle.

• The Bed Test: Is that outlet going to be trapped behind your headboard?

• The Door Swing: Is the light switch going to be behind the bathroom door when you open it?

• The Height Check: Did we mount the kitchen counter outlets high enough to clear the backsplash you picked out last week?

This is your last chance to visualize the house before it gets sealed up. Don’t be shy. Ask for the change now, or live with the regret forever.

Your Next Move: Bring a roll of blue painter’s tape to your walk-through. Mark exactly where your furniture will go on the subfloor so you can see if an outlet is about to get blocked.
