Code Compliance and Permitting in Raleigh

Our team handled the electrical permitting process so the work could be performed to local and national electrical codes. Pulling the permit ensures the installation aligns with Raleigh and county requirements for residential EV charging circuits.

Permit scope note: This project included the electrical permit. If a jurisdiction requires other non-electrical permits (such as Historic Preservation, Environmental/Septic, Zoning, Builders, or separate subcontractor permits), those are not included. If additional permits are needed, we identify what is required and can provide pricing to assist with processing those applications when applicable.
