Building 50x30. When to wire?

[bucs012]

I am having a garage builder, build my 50x30 (detached) stick garge the end of Sept. I want to have full wiring in this with some 220 usage as well.

My question is........Do I have the wiring guy come in and run all the wiring TO the building first...or after they have made the lay-out? Or does the wiring guy come in after the concrete has been poured and the frame and outer shell is done, before they insullate and finish the walls?

The reaason I ask is that I see the pictures of garages on the forum and I see that the wires come up from the ground and into the building. Just wondering how/when that is actually done.

Sorry. I am not much into building or wiring. I am a tinker'r of cars, bikes and lawnmowers.

You need to at least know where your breaker panel is going to be and know in relation to where you are going to get power from and then try and locate in the best spot in the building in relation to where all your high amperage stuff is going to be which helps to save costs on larger wire.

Not as complex as it sounds. Throw some extra conduits in for a water pipe and any outdoor lighting, computer cabling etc that you think you might want to add in the future.

Now is the time to do it. Conduit is cheap.

To further expand, you do not need to run anything underground to the site just yet. You just need to know where the attachment points to the building are going to be. The builder should be knowledgeable enough to help you with sizing and such.

Have an electrical contractor come out as soon as possible to give you a bid and go over details. He may want to get a conduit under that slab before you pour it to get power into the building. Since it's new construction, if they're using rebar, you'll need a ufer ground stubbed out for the panel. Your electrician should go over this with you.
