I don't see why delaying talking to the Building Dept. is ever a good idea.
It just might save you an expensive mistake.
You said that the meter is a the rear building and you want to bury the
power to the front building. The last time I did something like this,
Public Service inspected up to the panel not just the meter so they might be
involved too. It wouldn't hurt to ask.
Around here permits can stay open for a year so delaying filing for one
isn't a problem. If they are issued a the begining of a job and they can be
modfied later if needed.
