We make mention to the various PMs, landlords, owners, etc., that the 'sins' have to be corrected, and to my knowledge all the ECs get 'extra' for the removal or 'clean-up'.

Fair is fair. 99% of the time there is no argument. It may take a 'red' sticker the 1st time!!

I guess you could kinda go with that theory. Now, you mean 'renovation', not 'Reno', right? (LOL)

I should add that the 'major players', both ECs and PMs/LLs all know the drill by now.

When I do inspections on old buildings with new tenant fit ups, I always ask the EC to "Try" to remove as much old wire as possible. Most times the EC's are very willing to work with me ( sometimes it is an extra for the job) plus it gets rid of a lot of old crap in there way. For the most part it looks a whole lot better when I go back for my "Above Ceiling" inspection. Granted they can't get rid of all of the old wires, cause some cut through other secure areas in the building.
