Overview
Main description
Up to Code: Electrical Inspection Notes is an on-the-job “cliff notes” resource, packed with information about electrical systems and wiring methods that will save time and money while ensuring quality. To-do checklists, charts and tables with at-a-glance calculations, who’s-responsible-for-what info, and diagrams that clearly illustrate complicated information make it fast and easy for busy building professionals to do their jobs thoroughly and efficiently, and avoid costly mistakes. The books help building pros establish and meet inspection guidelines, and provide clients with schedules and specifications.
While other Up to Code: Inspection Notes are focused on the IBC (International Building Code, put out by the ICC), the most widely adopted building code in North America, Electrical focuses primarily on the NEC (National Electric Code, put out by the NFPA) because it’s the most widely adopted electrical code.
Each guide covers: Responsibility; Authority; Quality Control and Assurance; Plans and Specifications; Shop Drawings; Inspectors Daily Report; Pre-Construction Meeting; Equipment Proposal; Claims; Progress Schedules; Labor Enforcement; Storage of Materials; Contractor’s Payment; Rights-of-Way; Record Drawings; Project Turnover; Inspection Files; Recommended Equipment; Inspection; Safety.
