Since the areas I have worked in did not make the connection to the grounded conductor in the meter enclosure I always asked to have a piece of galvanized rebar stubbed up out of the footer just inside the foundation wall if the block crew was not the same folks as the concrete crew and at the top of the basement wall inside of the sill plate if it was a poured foundation. I caught two different block crews sticking a scrap of rebar into the top of the block rather than lift the block over the stubbed up rebar. I guess their not allowed to cut out the end web of the block to make positioning it easier.
