Rough In

[AC\DC]

Rules here say for the rough inspection, all boxes made up, grounds connected, etc. Be hard to not run wire if grounds are to be made up.
That is with or without conduit. We can cover walls before rough if using conduit, but not cable methods.

If you’re using emt as your ground then could you not just use a bonding pigtail, And all grounds are made up?

It say it’s ideal to do as much as possible before house is farther along but if I am in a rush and got somewhere else’s more important and it’s pipe I would have no problem leaving.
All Commerical jobs we ever did you pulled after Sheetrock was ip

I was speaking mostly residential. Probably only 1% of houses are piped.
But to your question, yes.

I think that the gist of the thread is piped systems. My problem is, I don't like splices unless necessary. Requiring wire installed and boxes made up prior to sheetrock, basically means box above every conduit not run through the walls and splices in all of them.

It’s pretty standard that once we have conduit in place, we are calling for a wall cover inspection before the wire is pulled if the GC is really pushing to keep moving. The inspectors always want to see the bonding jumpers installed for that inspection, but not necessarily having the wiring installed.

I’ve had a few jurisdictions require another inspections once the wiring is in place and before device trim-out. I can think of a handful of places that required us to trim devices but leave them out of the wall for them to verify grounding.

I don’t like doing it that way but some of these schedules are just too fast to keep up. You can only have so many guys in a building at once.
