Planning & EstimatingQuestion 368 of 521
During the permit process, when is the rough (rough-in) electrical inspection normally performed?
a.Before walls and ceilings are closed or covered
b.After final paint is applied
c.After the building is occupied
d.Only when the contractor requests it
Explanation
The rough inspection verifies boxes, wiring, and grounding while everything is still exposed, so it must occur before drywall or other finishes conceal the work. Inspecting after finishes would hide the very items being checked.
