After giving a general overview last week of what\u2019s needed for the specifications for the plumbing, mechanical and electrical subs, I thought it would be helpful to go into more detail about the lighting and electrical plan that you will need to give to the electrician.\xa0 There is so much to consider.\xa0 I\u2019ll give you a list of 50 suggestions that you can use as a checklist that will help you develop a pretty complete electrical and lighting plan before you even meet your builder or electrician for the lighting walkthrough.\xa0

The lighting walkthrough typically happens in the rough-in stage, after framing is complete and before the drywall goes up.\xa0 Usually, the homeowner will walk through the framed house with the electrician and/or builder and discuss where fixtures, outlets, and light switches will go.\xa0

But thinking through the electrical and lighting plan well before you do the electrical walkthrough will allow you more time to consider exactly what features and outlets we want, and where. This decreases the chances of you forgetting an outlet or light switch somewhere.\xa0 It will also give you an opportunity to develop more detailed specifications so you can get more accurate electrical bids.\xa0

I\u2019ll give you some suggestions in list form.\xa0 50 suggestions here and 21 more tips in the bonus episode.
