What is the latest code on new construction breaker box location. I have heard so many different stories.
Your panelboard will have overcurrent devices and therefore cannot be installed in locations exposed to physical damage, or in clothes closets, if residential cannot be in bathrooms. (220.24(C) & (D) & (E)
If the box contains a service disconnect & the installation is other than residential, can't be in a bathroom.230.70(A)(2)
Also, take into account working space requirements in110.34

Could you be more specific in your question? Are you referring to how near the point of entry a service disconnect must be, or in which loctions a panel may not be permitted?
I have heard many different stories etc.
No closets.
No bathrooms.
Not behind doors.
Not close to gas water heater.
clear front entrances.
I want to put it in the laundry room across from washer and dryer but there a door problem. It will come close to falling behind the back door when open.
