Why early matters
Late changes cost
triple. Every time.
Electrical rough-in happens after framing and before plastering. Decide your power point, lighting and appliance positions before that window and they're cheap; decide after and you're paying someone to cut into brand-new walls. Our guide on preparing your electrical system before a renovation walks through the sequence.
