The Risinger Build: Episode 11 - MEP Electrical Rough
Join us as we dive into efficient electrical setups, including Google Fiber installation, adjustable outlets, and job site security systems for a seamless home construction experience. Learn how smart planning can enhance your build process, boost security, and ensure optimal power management. In this episode, we walk you through the final electrical touches before the big inspection. Matt demonstrates the installation of adjustable Allied Molding outlets, which allow for post-installation depth adjustments—perfect for situations where tile selection may affect outlet depth. The video also covers how to run Google Fiber into the house with an additional empty conduit for future low-voltage needs, providing flexibility for future updates. We highlight security solutions with solar-powered Vosker cameras and Ring floodlight motion sensor cameras, ensuring continuous monitoring throughout the build. The cameras provide real-time alerts and help monitor job site activity, especially in areas with poor cell service. Temporary power, including a 5-ton air conditioner, keeps the house cool during the 100-degree days, ensuring comfort for the contractors. In addition to covering electrical and security details, our host stresses the importance of pre-planning mechanical, electrical, and plumbing layouts, showcasing how early modeling made the build more efficient. Watch till the end for insights into how the planning process can make inspections and overall construction smoother and more successful!
