Many residential and commercial projects encounter delays due to missing permits, incomplete documentation, or electrical systems that do not meet current standards. These delays can affect move in dates, construction timelines, business openings, and real estate transactions. Big Ant Electrical delivers commercial and residential electrical services Houston clients can rely on to avoid unnecessary setbacks and keep projects moving forward.

Why Permits and Inspections Matter


Permits and inspections exist to protect property owners, occupants, and the public. Electrical systems must be installed correctly to prevent hazards such as shocks, fires, overloaded circuits, and equipment failures. When electrical work is completed without proper approval, it can result in fines, denied occupancy, insurance issues, or the need for costly rework.

Permits and inspections are important because they:

Ensure the work meets safety standards
Electrical installations must follow strict rules for conductor sizing, breaker placement, grounding, and wiring methods. Inspections verify that these requirements have been met.
