What an electrical scope of work is for

Electrical jobs touch things customers do not see until they are opened: old wiring, a utility meter, a full panel, plaster walls. A scope that names the amperage, the circuits and their locations, who coordinates with the utility, and who patches the walls keeps everyone clear about what the price buys and what happens when the wall comes open.

What to put in an electrical scope of work

  • Service size and panel: amperage, breaker spaces, brand.
  • Each new circuit with its use and location.
  • Utility coordination for a service change.
  • Permit and inspection.
  • Patching of openings, and whether painting is included.
  • What happens if old wiring is found unsafe.

Items to settle in an electrical scope

  • Who schedules the utility disconnect and reconnect.
  • Whether surge protection is included.
  • How far the EV charger is from the panel, and the wire route.
  • Whether grounding and bonding will be brought up to current code.
  • Who patches and paints wall openings.
  • How long the power will be off.

FAQ

What goes in an electrical scope of work?

The panel or service size, each new circuit and its location, devices and fixtures, utility coordination, the permit and inspection, patching, and what is not included.

Who coordinates with the utility on a panel upgrade?

Usually the electrician, but write it into the scope. Some utilities need weeks of notice, and that affects the schedule.

What if we find bad wiring during the job?

Say in the scope that existing wiring problems found during the work will be shown to the customer and priced as a change order before any repair.

Does the scope need to mention code?

State that the work will be done to the electrical code adopted locally and pass inspection. Inspectors decide what that means on site.
