Contractors Jargon for Electricians

It would be impossible for an electrician to work in the construction of commercial and residential structures without understanding some of the jargon contractors use to describe various phases of construction. Some common stipulations electricians working in new construction will hear are “framed”, “dried-in”, “finished walls”, etc… These are not stipulations that consumers are usually familiar with unless they’ve had a house or other structure built or added an addition to their home.

For example, “framed” refers to the actual wood frame of a house or addition. This includes all the studs, headers, footers, joists, rafters, etc… When a structure has been “dried-in”, an exterior layer has been added to the frame for the exterior walls and roof. Finished walls are interior walls; this includes equipment like sheetrock or wood paneling place into place after all the insulation is in place and the electrical and plumbing fixtures have been “roughed-in”.
