As built drawings
-
The original construction drawings marked up to reflect all of the
changes made during construction. Contractors use as-built drawings to record changes that
may affect the main building plan, such as relocating ductwork, plumbing, or electrical.

Easement
-
An easement gives one party the right to use or enter part of the property of
another. Owners often need a way of easement to run electricity, water, or gas across another
owner’s property. Easements don’t grant ownership, only the right to use another’s property
for specified purposes.

Alteration -
Also known as a remodel, an alteration to a structure is any change to
its interior. For example, adding or removing non-structural walls to change the
layout of a house.

Electrical Rough-In
- A structure’s electrical system is considered “roughed in” after a
licensed electrician has finished installing the wiring, electrical boxes, lighting fixture
mounts, and breaker panels. At this point, the system is ready for inspection. Electrical
rough ins begin after framing is completed and before drywall is installed.
