One more thought. The National Electrical Code applies to ALL crafts AND the GC,
It is hard if not imposable to make general statements like that on a National forum.
Enforcement is not up to the NEC it is up to each area that adopts it.
Here in MA we have strict licensing and permitting, the electrical inspector can not write up a failure to the GC, the GC can not pull an electrical permit.
Any electrical issues will be written to the electrical contractor on site.
Here the cement contractor or GC can not install a whip to the re-bar for the electrician.
Here a licensed EC would have to pull a permit and have the connection to the re-bar inspected before the pour.
My point is enforcement is very different around the country.
It is hard for me to understand how the NEC applies to a carpenter when they can not perform electric work in the first place.
