New Construction & Renovation Electrical Design
Plan the Wiring Before the Walls Go Up
The most expensive electrical mistakes happen before a single outlet is installed — in the planning stage, when decisions about circuit counts, panel sizing, and outlet placement are made without consulting a licensed electrician. Charm City Electric offers pre-construction and pre-renovation electrical consulting to help homeowners, builders, and remodelers avoid costly surprises and design a system that serves them for decades.

Why Consult Before You Build
Architects and general contractors design spaces — electricians design power systems. Bringing an electrician into the planning process early ensures that your electrical panel is sized for the load you're actually planning, that circuits are placed where equipment and appliances will actually be, and that conduit and rough-in costs are minimized by smart routing. Retrofitting inadequate electrical systems after construction is dramatically more expensive than planning correctly from the start.
What a Consulting Engagement Covers
We review your architectural plans and discuss how each space will be used. We develop a circuit-by-circuit electrical plan, determine the appropriate service size, identify locations for panels and subpanels, and flag any code requirements that affect the design. We also provide a detailed scope of work and material list that you can use to solicit accurate bids from electrical contractors.
Renovation-Specific Planning
Renovations present unique challenges — existing wiring that may or may not be reusable, panels that may need upgrading, and walls that will be opened and closed. Our consulting review identifies which existing wiring is worth keeping, what needs to be replaced, and how to sequence the electrical work within the renovation timeline to avoid delays.
