ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues Romex in commercial buildings?

I think it looks out of place in many of the locations you list. But without some facts to show it is unsafe what is the problem.

I have some experience with the grocery store question and when there is a reason we have to run MC in place of NM the office tells us it is about a $60,000 change. (80,000 to 100,000 sq ft stores) So if you try to bid the job MC when everyone else is bidding NM there is not much chance you will get the job.

We service about 100 large grocery stores and most are NM, very few service calls have to do with the NM. Most calls are failures of THWN in under slab raceways or problems with breakers and relays.

Hey stir things up.
