Red flags pop up when someone lists themselves as an EC and says something like (this is not aimed at the OP) "I ran #12 romex to a kitchen range and the inspector turned down my installation, what size wire should I have used?"
BTW, did you look at the OP's profile?

I still stand by my first impression.. he is a GC loooking to do his own wiring. His profile says "contractor" and I bet he got an estimate from a EC to rewire the building.
That seems to be the new rage of doing business. The prices are slashed to nothing and the GC is looking to save a buck where ever he can.
I read the OP's question and automatically thought he was not in the trade. I did read his profile, and that is what lead me to post how I posted.
I guess you could say that at the very moment that I posted, I was frustrated at what I see in our great industry, and I said what I said.
I will still say, that reading the NEC will help a lot towards finding info and if not finding info, asking questions that will lead us to believe one is in the industry.

I myself have been beaten down many times on this site, one either gets used to it or does not post. It is not so bad, I have good coverage for this sort of beating.
