Set it up to pass
Rough-in is where an electrical job gets easy or hard for the rest of the build. Set the boxes right and the trim goes fast.
Set box heights to your standard and pull labeled home runs so nobody is buzzing wires out at trim. Watch your box fill. Plate the studs where the code wants it so the drywall crew does not put a screw through a wire.
Walk the job against the plan before you call for inspection. Take photos before the walls close so you have a record of what is behind them.
Every inspector has items they always look for. Add yours to this list and the printed checklist becomes the way your shop passes the first time.
Electrical Rough-In Checklist questions
Is this really free?
Yes. No email, no signup, and nothing you type leaves your browser.
What does the rough-in checklist cover?
Before rough-in (plans, permits, staging, trade coordination), boxes and pathways, circuits (pulls, grounds, box fill), and wrap-up (plan walkthrough, inspection, photos before cover).
Can I add my inspector’s pet items?
Yes, and you should. Every jurisdiction has them. Add items, reorder sections, and the printed checklist becomes your local standard.
Can I change the checklist?
Everything is editable: items, sections, order, and printed columns. The starter list is a starting point, not a cage.
