You have got to be kidding me! You want to "string" a home? With what?

If the only question you have is the height of the panelboard then you should not have to ask that question.

Let's start at something rudimentary. How about how much service do you need, 100 or 200 or more amps. Have you spoken to the power company about where thy want the meter and panel?

Do you have the requisite permits to do this work (Power company will not connect your home to their grids without an approved inspection).

Have you any idea the amount of code you need to understand, not just think you know.

Have you made arrangements for temporary power from the power company at the jobsite or are you planning to use generators (installed per code) at the jobsite.

Is the shell for the home up? Have you planned and mapped out any branch circuits yet.

Did you set up your grounding and bonding system yet.
