Construction

Ok, it is always fun visiting construction sites. Watching a building go up or a renovation is impressive.We have a project right in the drywall stage, so right before cabling is installed in the walls. Our data junction boxes & conduits are set by the electrical contractor so that's not our scope. Making sure they put them in the right places and they'll work is! We've tried consultants and 3rd parties, but getting them onsite and on the contractors butt has been difficult. Even the very good installers will take short cuts, miss something and sometimes just plain screw up. One, make sure you had a good RFP. Two, catch issues early or even as they are happening, most of the installers will fix it and not gripe too much. The other reason we like doing our own rfps and cabling is cause we learn a lot from both the GC and the installers....and my thoughts trail off to another subject. we'll come back to this
