Outlets should land where you actually need them, not where they are easy to run. We plan the layout to furniture and use so you are not reaching for a power strip.

Plan outlets to how you use the room

Outlets should land where you actually need them, not where they are easy to run. We plan the layout to furniture and use so you are not reaching for a power strip.

Dedicated circuits for heavy loads

Kitchens, baths, and offices want dedicated circuits for heavy or sensitive loads. We plan the circuits so the panel and the room stay balanced.

Rough-in before close-in

Electrical rough-in happens behind the walls, before insulation and drywall. Planning it now prevents cutting into finished walls later.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How many outlets do I need?

Code sets the minimum, but practical planning adds more where you will use them. We plan to the room's real use.

Can I add smart switches?

Yes, most smart switches need a neutral wire, which we plan into the rough-in if you want them.
