When is the best time to make lighting fixture decisions? Zack advises to make these decisions early—before framing begins—not during the finishing stages. Builders need to plan for Proper placement and spacing of wires to avoid conflicts with pipes or structural elements. Even if electricians aren’t on-site yet, builders need lighting locations to ensure clear paths and accurate layouts. Delaying these choices risks costly delays and compromises in quality. Early planning empowers contractors to execute the design properly and deliver the high-level results homeowners expect.
