Knowing this skill would set you apart, but not knowing where to start.

Happy Clients Testimonials
“The electrical checklists were a game changer, ensuring I didn’t miss key details during site meetings. I felt confident knowing I had covered everything—from aligning outlets with the layout to coordinating lighting placements. The lighting guide was another standout, especially with condos where low ceilings complicate things. The fixture size recommendations, mounting heights, and tips on color temperature made client decisions easy and streamlined. Thanks to Jenn’s resources, I tackled the electrical side of things smoothly and professionally!” — Renata, Designer
“Thanks to these tools, I felt prepared and confident walking onto the job site. This course makes handling electrical details straightforward and foolproof!” — Michael, Interior Designer

FAQ
This will answer some of your questions...
I’m new to Revit—will this still help?
Yes. You’ll get a pre-loaded Revit template (fixtures, outlets, switches + legends). And there’s a 30-day free trial link to download the software & try it risk-free. Plus, the hand-drawing module and checklists still give you a complete process if you’re not interested in learning a new program.
What if my builder already has a system for lighting & electrical planning?
Great—you’ll coordinate with it & have a lighting plan done before they even break ground by using the checklists to align early and prevent miscommunication that cause delays or change orders.
How fast can I implement this?
Most designers watch the core lessons in 2–3 hours, then use the checklists/templates on their next project the same week.
Will this help me raise my rates?
Many designers use this to add a lighting/electrical package or justify full-service pricing. One builder referral often repays the course many times over.
