You guys actually get called in before the shell building complete? Or even the concrete pour done? I haven't.
I have had jobs where we spent months on the slab before the pour. Commercial kitchens, hospitals, schools, gyms, retail stores, etc..., have a lot of wiring in the floor.You guys actually get called in before the shell building complete? Or even the concrete pour done? I haven't.
That’s why I have the concrete guys stub up a piece of rebar, they don’t have to wait on me to come out and tie copper before they pour. On the last couple of buildings, I make sure the owner verifies it before they pour since he is on site at the old building. They were putting up steel when he noticed it was gone. It wasn’t in the way of the steel guys, they were just lazy, and didn’t want to lift the bottom track up and over it.You guys actually get called in before the shell building complete?

Many the concrete guys around here paint the stub out orange. Not that the steel guys would know what that might mean other than they made it "high vis" for some reason.that's a bummer, next time I'd attach a ribbon stating Electrical , do not cut
Occasionally I get first contact to a job after concrete has been done. Those may or may not have something stubbed out. Inspectors still enforce code and you still need a CEE connection unless you can convince them there is no qualifying CEE present, but that almost never is the case.You guys actually get called in before the shell building complete?
