Building the Future: Expert Electrical Rough-In by Wicks Electric
At Wicks Electric, we believe that the foundation of a well-lit, functional, and safe home begins long before the walls go up. The image above showcases a critical stage of electrical rough-in work at a construction site, where our team meticulously lays the groundwork for a top-tier electrical system.
What is Electrical Rough-In?
Electrical rough-in is the phase where all the necessary wiring, conduit, and outlet boxes are installed before the walls and ceilings are closed up with drywall. This is a crucial step that requires careful planning and execution to ensure that the final electrical system functions seamlessly. A proper rough-in determines the efficiency, safety, and longevity of your home’s electrical infrastructure.
In the image, you can see that the framing is complete, and our team has started running electrical wiring through the studs. This is a moment in the construction process where expertise matters most—mistakes made at this stage can lead to costly issues later. That’s why Wicks Electric approaches every rough-in project with precision and attention to detail.
