Electrical

For all building construction or remodeling building projects, the owner or occupant must first have a concept for the new design, and then the architect or designer can produce a set of building plans. These plans convey all the required information to the local inspection authority and associated building trades so that the construction or remodeling can take place. Because commercial and industrial buildings contain a number of electrical systems, these plans include specific electrical designs and additional documentation to verify that the design conforms to all required building codes. The Design Process: An electrical design goes through several important stages of development. First, the designer must understand the scope of the project. Then, the designer defines and designs each component (such as general office areas, specialized machinery, and power distribution equipment) to recognized industry standards. Finally, these individual components are compiled to form the final presentation for the design.
