Scott your the man, thanks for that link. [Linked Image]

If I am reading it correctly we will have to use the footing for grounding.

It should get interesting, the GCs are going to have to learn not to pour footings without an electrician around. [Linked Image]

Presently many times the company I work for is not even signed onto a project before the footings are poured.

It is very common for us to arrive with foundations and steel in place.

This 'learning' curve is going to be interesting to watch.

The shop will need to put something in our contracts that puts any costs associated with getting to the rebar entirely on the GC.
