Building out wall for electric panel
This is fine as long as you maintain clearspace
There is nothing wrong with framing a non-structural &quot;bump out&quot; to house a flushmount panel as long as you don't introduce foreign (i.e. non-electrical, such as HVAC or plumbing) systems directly above the panel or create a situation that violates the 30&quot; by 36&quot; (fridge sized) clearspace that needs to be present in front of the panel so that it can be serviced.
