What it covers
Commercial electrical work in Alabaster

- 3-phase power for kitchens, compressors and machines
- New panels, subpanels and dedicated equipment circuits
- Repairs for tripping breakers and dead circuits
Where the work is

Permits
What Alabaster asks for on a commercial electrical permit
The City of Alabaster Building and Engineering Services department reviews commercial electrical plans. The permitting handbook lists what the drawings must show.
- Service size and conductor sizes
- Load calculations and voltage drop
- A riser diagram
- The meter and disconnect location
The City adopts the 2020 National Electrical Code with local amendments. Commercial projects over $50,000 need a State of Alabama General Contractors license, with some exemptions.
Security wiring too
Many build-outs add cameras and door intercoms. See CCTV and intercom installation in Alabaster for that low-voltage work.
Inspections
Commercial inspections from slab to final
Alabaster's handbook lists each electrical inspection in order. Conduit in a slab is inspected before backfill. Rough-in wiring is inspected before walls and ceilings close, and that visit includes low-voltage and data cable.
The power release inspection comes next. Alabama Power does not connect the building until the Building Official releases the system. The final inspection follows once every trade passes and the space is ready for occupancy.
Plan around these dates
- Leave time for plan review before work starts
- Book the power release before the opening date
- Keep the permit card on site for inspectors
