What this checklist covers

The rough-in inspection is your inspector checking the wiring against the electrical code your area has adopted. This list is the walk before that visit, so nothing small sends you back: a box set too deep, a missing staple, a home run without a label.

Our box fill calculator helps check the crowded boxes. The code and the inspector have the final word.

How to use it

With Koira: Estimates and change orders

Anything the walkthrough turns up that is outside the scope goes on a new estimate, signed on the customer's phone before you do it. Koira keeps the original, the change and the photos together on the job.
