Quick answer
When should I involve an electrician on a new build?
Short answerBefore the rough-in is locked. Early input saves time, protects the layout and avoids paying to fix a finished wall.
If you’re building in Munno Para, Blakeview, Aldinga or Mount Barker, early electrical planning is often the difference between a clean handover and a costly rethink.
