I worked for a group such as you describe ONCE. They call themselves construction magement. They should have left off the "construction" because they knew nothing about it. Also I am seeing a pattern here and am wondering how the heck you are finding these people to work for? I guess being an electrical evengelist is a good thing, right? That means you are working by the book and doing the right thing. Apparently they are not accustomed to that in your area.
