ELECTRIC LAYOUT

Electrical Planning Walkthrough 

On Saturday morning I met with my builder and his electrician to walk through the home construction, review the proposed electrical drawings, and determine the most effective layout for lighting, outlets, and cable jacks throughout the house. Being an architect, I like to joke that I know enough about electrical engineering to be dangerous, but going through the exercise of producing the electrical drawings for the project and discussing the logistics of how the Starter Home 2.0 is going to be wired and circuited with professionals in the field was a great learning experience. Below is the revised electrical drawing for the project, updated to incorporate comments made during Saturday's walkthrough.
