Once concrete hits that deck, the electrical rough-in is locked in permanently. No adjustments, no do-overs, no “we’ll fix it in the next phase.” Whatever we set that morning is what the building lives with for the next 50 years. That’s why the day before a pour is one of the most important days on any commercial job.
1. Sleeve and conduit placement
Every pe*******on gets mapped against the drawings and set in position — floor boxes, stub-ups, sleeves for future runs, feeder conduit heading to the electrical room. This is where coordination with the other trades matters most. Plumbing, mechanical, and structural are all working the same deck, and everyone needs their path. Miss a sleeve and you’re core drilling through a finished slab later, cutting rebar, patching, and explaining yourself to the GC. We’d rather spend the extra hours now.
2. Grounding and bonding
The Ufer ground gets tied directly into the rebar cage — a concrete-encased electrode that becomes the grounding backbone for the entire building. It’s what gives fault current somewhere safe to go and protects every panel, circuit, and person in the building for decades. It gets inspected, verified, and documented, and then it disappears under the pour and is never seen again.
3. The final walk
Two sets of eyes on every run, every measurement, every stub-up. We check heights, we check spacing, we check it against the prints one more time, and we make sure nothing shifted while the deck was being prepped. Concrete doesn’t do revisions, so this is the last chance to catch anything.
None of this shows up in the finished building. No tenant walking into that space will ever know it happened. But it’s the difference between a build that runs clean for decades and one that fights you every step of the way.
Invisible work. Permanent consequences. We get it right the first time.
