All of my business comes from 5 GCs, and 3 small corporations and a few occasional referrals. I am a 1 man show and that has kept me busy enough for years. Last week I got a call from a large GC who does work for a large retail chain about replacing a few pieces of equipment and relocate a few receptacles in one of their retail locations. Apparently my rep at my wholesale house gave me high marks when they called him for a referral. The scope of work is really not all that complicated and I agreed to bid it but when I got the prints, the 81 pages of job specs was a bit overwhelming. The work is no big deal, a couple of 30 amp 3 phase circuits, a shunt trip breaker and a few receps.. but reading through the job specs there are all sorts of surprises to me. things like, I need a spotter to operate a lift or I need to trace out every circuit on every panel I work on and make a new panel schedule. And then there are verification forms for every portion of the job I complete. I haven't found anything I can't do, it just seems a little overwhelming for me and my biggest fear is that I miss something that costs me a fortune. Any advice for me?
