Why it matters

Site electrical supply must be checked before work begins.

Temporary power on residential builds needs to be set up and checked by a licensed electrician. A clear record of each box check helps you show due diligence if something goes wrong or an audit is requested.

Electrical box checks

should be documented and easy to find when you need proof that your site supply was inspected.
