Electrical Design-Build From Plans to Final Inspection

Priceless Electric provides design-build electrical services for remodel and new construction projects throughout the Augusta metro and CSRA. That means John Price handles both the planning side and the installation side, so there's no gap between what the drawings show and what ends up in the wall. If you're building from the ground up or gutting a space to remake it, you need an electrician who can read a set of plans, flag problems before the slab is poured, and still be the one pulling wire when the framing goes up. That's the work. Call (706) 627-6021 to talk through your project.

Scope drives everything on a design-build job. A 400-square-foot addition and a full custom build don't have the same electrical budget, the same panel requirements, or the same inspection schedule. New construction typically needs a temporary service for construction power, a rough-in phase, and a finish-out phase tied to occupancy permits. Remodels add a layer of complexity because the existing wiring is already there, and it may not meet current code or support the new load. Panel capacity, circuit planning, fuse and breaker box sizing, and outlet placement all get worked out before a single hole is cut. Every job is different -- contact Priceless Electric for an accurate estimate.

What We Handle

Electrical Scope on Remodel and New Construction Jobs

One licensed electrician responsible from rough-in through final inspection.

01

Load Calculation and Panel Sizing

Before any wire gets pulled, the total electrical load gets calculated. That number determines whether the existing service is adequate or whether a panel upgrade is part of the scope. Undersizing the panel on a new build is one of the most expensive mistakes to fix after the fact.

02

Temporary Construction Power

New construction sites need power before the permanent service is in. Priceless Electric sets up temporary service so the build can run on schedule without waiting on the utility.

03

Rough-In Wiring

Conduit, boxes, and wire go in after framing, before drywall closes the walls. This is the phase where outlet placement, switch locations, and circuit layout get locked in. Changes after drywall cost significantly more.

04

Finish-Out and Device Installation

Outlets, switches, fixtures, and covers get installed after paint. Lighting solutions get connected. Fan installation gets done. Everything gets tested before the inspector walks the job.

05

Smart Home Wiring

New construction is the right time to wire for smart home setups. Running the low-voltage infrastructure while the walls are open costs a fraction of retrofitting it later.

06

Inspection and Closeout

Priceless Electric pulls the permits, schedules the inspections, and handles any corrections. The homeowner or general contractor doesn't get handed a punchlist from the inspector without a plan to address it.

Our Process

How a Design-Build Electrical Job Actually Runs

The sequence matters. Each phase has to clear before the next one starts, and the electrician has to be coordinated with the rest of the job site.

  1. 01

    Planning and Permitting

    Load calculations, circuit layout, panel selection, and permit application. This phase happens before any work on site. Getting it right here prevents costly changes during rough-in.

  2. 02

    Rough-In Installation

    Boxes, conduit, and wire go in while the framing is exposed. Rough-in inspection has to pass before drywall can be hung. This is where the project either runs on schedule or falls behind.

  3. 03

    Finish-Out and Final Inspection

    Devices, fixtures, and panel connections get completed after paint. Final inspection signs off on the work. Occupancy permit follows. Job is done when the inspector is satisfied.

Why It Matters

Remodel Electrical Work Carries Hidden Complexity

Electrical tools and circuit diagram blueprints laid out on a work surface during project planning phase.
New construction is straightforward by comparison. The remodel is where things get complicated. Older homes in the Augusta area frequently have wiring that doesn't meet current NEC code. Knob-and-tube, aluminum branch circuit wiring, undersized panels, missing ground conductors -- any of these can become a code issue the moment a permit is pulled. An honest electrician tells you that upfront, not after the walls are already open. John Price has been doing electrical troubleshooting and repair in this region for over 20 years. He's walked into enough remodels to know that the surprises are usually in the attic or behind the first outlet box. We don't subcontract the work out. John is on the job.

Licensed, Bonded, and Insured for Commercial and Residential Projects

Priceless Electric carries the credentials a general contractor or property owner needs before putting an electrician on a permitted job site.

Design-build work on permitted projects requires a licensed electrical contractor. Bonding protects the client if something goes wrong. Insurance covers the job site. These aren't optional on a permitted build, and any sub who shows up without them is your liability, not theirs.

Common Questions on Design-Build Electrical Projects

Do I need a separate permit for electrical work on a remodel?
Yes. Any electrical work that goes beyond device replacement typically requires a permit, and in Georgia that means a licensed electrical contractor has to pull it. The permit triggers inspections at rough-in and at final closeout. Work done without a permit can create problems when you sell the property -- a home inspector will flag unpermitted electrical work, and the buyer's lender may require corrections before closing.
What happens if the existing wiring in my home doesn't meet current code?
It depends on scope. Code generally requires that any new work meets current NEC standards, but doesn't automatically require the whole house to be brought up to code. However, if the remodel triggers certain thresholds -- percentage of the home affected, load changes, panel replacement -- the inspector may require broader upgrades. John Price will flag what's there and tell you honestly what the inspector is likely to require before you're committed to a scope.
Can Priceless Electric work directly with my general contractor?
Yes. On design-build projects, the electrician has to coordinate with framing, HVAC, plumbing, and finish trades to keep the schedule. John Price works directly with general contractors and project managers throughout the CSRA. If you're a GC looking for a reliable electrical sub, call (706) 627-6021 to talk through the project.
What size panel does a new home typically need?
Most new residential construction in this region runs on 200-amp service. Larger homes with electric vehicle charging, electric HVAC, whole-home generators, and high-load kitchens may need 320-amp or sub-panel configurations. The load calculation determines the right size -- there's no single answer that fits every build. Undersizing is a real problem and more expensive to correct after the fact than getting it right in the planning phase.
How far in advance should I bring in the electrician on a new construction project?
Before the foundation goes in, if possible. The electrician needs to plan conduit routing, panel placement, meter base location, and temporary power. Changes made during framing are manageable. Changes made after drywall is hung are expensive. On a design-build project, early involvement isn't a courtesy -- it directly affects your budget and schedule.
Does Priceless Electric handle both the electrical design and the installation, or just one?
Both. That's what design-build means in this context. John Price works through the circuit layout and panel sizing before the first nail goes in, then installs the work himself through rough-in, finish-out, and final inspection. There's no handoff between a design firm and a separate installer. The person who planned it is the person who wires it.
