Elec On New Home


I'm hiring an electrical sub to put install elec in a new home I'm building. What kind of questions do I need to ask when getting a bid?

Thanks, John

OK, so you are calling yourself a "General Contractor".
By this I assume you are building a new house and are trying to GC it yourself.
I also assume you have no experience in this, or maybe just a little bit in some areas. Am I right?
From the look of all your posts I think I am.

Folks like you scare folks like us. When we hear the home owner is GC'ing a job themselves every sub-contractor's eyes roll.

WHY oh why do folks think they are going to save a ton of money by doing this???? In the end you'll see it QUITE the opposite!

Good luck. You'll need it!!
