Sheet E-201 / Sequence of work

How a job runs.

Every job is the same five sheets, in the same order. You always know which one you are on, what happens next and what it costs. No step starts until you have signed off on the one before.

The five sheets.

Each sheet is a step with a clear end. The box under each one says what you will actually see or hold.

  1. 1

    The call

    Ten minutes on the phone with an electrician. We ask what you want, how old the house is and what size your panel says on the label.

    You will seeA time for the site visit, usually within three business days.

    About 45 minutes. We open the panel, measure the run, check the attic and the crawl space, and sketch the job on site.

    You will seeA clean drawing of the work, with the route and every new circuit.

    We book the city inspector and meet them on site. If anything needs a fix, we fix it at no cost and book the re-inspection.

    You will seeThe signed permit card, an updated panel schedule and your drawing.

When the job changes.

Walls hide things. If we open a wall and find a spliced knob and tube run or a beam where the drawing says a stud bay, we stop. We show you, redraw the route and give you the new price in writing before any extra work starts.

It does not happen often. The site visit is long because we would rather find the surprise on day one.
