Joe,

I agree with John. As an AHJ, if a contractor comes in with a permit for a new kitchen, I wouldn't be too worried about plans. Most times I know the contractor and his work. They know the code and it is correct ( Maybe a small problem) on the rough inspection. If a homeowner walks in the door, I ask for a skecth, (Like John said.) So that I help the homeowner (HO)get it right on paper, so that when I go out on rough inspection, he has the job done correctly. I will try to help the HO get the work layed out correctly and ask him if he/she has any questions. As for big jobs, there is usually a set of prints in the GC's trailer. If there are any questions, I tell the electrical contractor (EC) to check the print. What does the print call for? Or what does the Arch/ or EE call for? If it meets NEC, then we follow the print.
