Here in nebraska it is illeagal for any one not a licensed electrician to do ANY electrical work for another.
The GC or carpenter of concrete guy are therefore legally prohibited from doing electrical work.
All too often the GC will not have signed the electrical contract until after the footing is in. That is when the electrician is on the job site for the first time. If a connection to the rebar is availble then we attach for the ufer ground but if it is not we use other grounding methods. Busting up some one elses work especally a footing is not a good idea from a practacle and financial point of view.
