GFCI's required?

[ammklq143]

I am bidding a machine shed for a farmer. He's going to have a drain and water hookups on each wall. The shed is 60 x 90 feet. I bid the shed with GFCI's along all of the walls, but another contractor had quite a few non GFCI receptacles on his bid. I would think this structure would call for all GFCI's. What is the proper way to do this? Am I missing something?

The other contractor was probably figuring 1 GFCI receptacle at the head of the (each) circuit and feeding regular receps downstream from them.

You may not need any.

See 210.8(B)

It sounds like he intends to put in a sink [if so, 210.8(B)5.] Could the other bidder have considered a GFCi ocpd?

That's a very good point. Thanks for the eye opener.

Like stated above, they will use a GFCI ahead of regular receptacles. Thats a lot cheaper with the same protection.
