what you need to do —

Identify any special wiring needs by room:

— home sound system
— ceiling wiring for bedroom fans
— wiring the shed for electricity, etc.

Start the electrical wiring when the house has been "dried" — windows, doors, and roof installed.

Ceiling and wall lighting may be installed during this phase, or at least designed so that electrical switches and sockets can be installed prior to dry walling — see lighting design

For Electrical:

··	consider multiple switches for a single light (upstairs and downstairs)
··	install dual switches for light and fan
··	order photoelectric cell for the outside and pathways
··	install motion detection sensors around the garage and back
··	request special wiring for computers, entertainment rooms, alarm systems, ceiling fans, and the like — see our home wired discussion below
··	add additional outlets along the kitchen counters and bathroom
