wouldn't it save us money if we could have someone who knows wtf thyre doing (or will not do anything) do some before the electrician is hired?

the steve whom i have nicknamed 'st.' (that expedited the move) will prolly be there in the early evening.  if i talk 2 him before that i will bring this, my newly sprouted, fruit-still-theoretical scion of the Big Tree -- that is renovating the Omni -- to his attn.

So does this mean that Sudo can't complete it's electrical upgrades until CCL does theirs, for example?

All,
Having discussed the permit process at length with David and Hol, we came to the conclusion that coordinating our efforts makes the most sense. This will save permitting costs and not aggravate the inspector, who otherwise will need to plan a visit for every piece-wise permit. Electrical plans should be documented to all extent possible. This means drawings of what is to be removed and what will need to be installed. The drawings are not any consequence to the city nor inspector, however, they are very useful for in-house coordination and contractor bid process.

The permit should be comprised of generalities that describe the minor changes to the existing electrical system. Furthermore, it should be for the entire building. Inspection is required prior to electrifying any new or modified circuits. The inspector will plan on coming one time to inspect everything, plugs need to be out of their boxes, jbox's exposed w/o the plate cover (but the cover needs to be present), new breakers should not be installed in sub-panels unless the entire panel is locked and tagged out (this means no one can accidentally turn on the supply breaker). 

Lastly, we need to have a licensed electrician preform the install. So go through your contacts. Lastly I think we should meet face to face to discuss how to move forward and to review the permit draft which needs to be prepared. I will be out of town this weekend but will be available via phone. This is the permit. Also you may find this useful, the information is not exactly correct but please feel free to use it for reference- it is what we started with to get a handle of material cost and scope of Sudo's electrical needs.

Steve I am forwarding this thread to Whitney who drafted our electrical plans and has been spearheading the electrical effort, and can probably give you a better answer on the exact permit timeline and costs.

 

cheers

I think that we're almost ready with our plans. Would getting them to you by Tuesday afternoon work for you?

Hi Steve,

 

We were planning to pull a permit for sudo room's electrical work which is fully planned out.  There is some overhead of getting the permit and the inspection, which I believe is ~$160 which could be spread over the 2 projects.  Throughout the building we are planning to address things specifically called out in the fire inspection, which will be covering junction boxes for the most part.  How close are y'all to having a plan ready?

 

Cheers

Hi,
 
This is Steve from la Commune. I hear that Sudo was going to apply for some building (electrical) permits. La Commune is going to be doing the same. I was wondering what you all thought about the idea of us applying in the same bundle to possibly save cost? 
 
Im not even sure if this would save cost. But maybe it would?
 
Hope you're both well.
 
Thanks,
Steve
