That's the point I am trying to make. I'm not talking just about the 'big jobs.'
Let's imagine a simple job, a plan to add a circuit. I just can't imagine simply scribbling 'add circuit' on a permit application and leaving it at that. No, it seems obvious that one would draw a simple floor plan, outlining where the circuit started, ended, and how it got there.
Since the permit is applied for after the job is quoted, and (supposedly) before work begins, the contractor ought to be able to lay out exactly what he plans to do, in terms a complete stranger would understand.
