Sparky,

Same goes here in NJ. A lic. contractor can design the electrical system for 1 and 2 family dwellings. When I got prints from an architect for a house, in order to bid "apples to apples", I would bid the job just as the print was drawn. However I would also submit a proposal for "Extras" needed to get the job pass inspections. This way the general contractor/homeowner knew right away that I wouldn't be looking for extras at the end of the job. I laid it out right up front.
