Electrical Appointment Checklist
A printable checklist covering every category to confirm at your lighting and electrical appointment — lighting, power, data, ceiling fans, pendants, outdoor, garage, security, EV, solar and smart home wiring.
Any building or upgrade amounts in this checklist are indicative estimates only. Confirm current written prices and specifications directly with the builder, supplier or relevant trade.
The lighting and electrical appointment is where every power point, light, switch and data point in your new home is confirmed. This checklist covers every category you'll be asked to decide on — take it with you so nothing is missed under time pressure.
Watch out
Standard electrical inclusions are often minimal. Many items on this checklist are typically upgrades. Decide which matter most to your household before the appointment, and confirm standard inclusions and pricing with your builder.

Tip
Take this checklist and a printed floor plan to your appointment. Walk through each room, mark positions on the plan, and confirm pricing for every upgrade in writing. Decisions made at this session are difficult and costly to change after walls are closed.
