Is an electrical permit required?

And Colorado, kind of stupid, you have to have experience and pass a rigid test to do plumbing or electrical in a structure, but not to build the structure itself.......go figure! :rolleyes:
Well they call it GENERAL CONTRACTING Sounds like Liberal Arts

Trying to sort through the reply.

I think a guy that the is getting the structure built, should be as, or more qualified as the guys putting components in the structure.

I agree, reply was my attempt at humor

Actually I believe that 60% of all trades have shared, generic skills: like referring to the drawing or cutting material to length without leaving body parts on the floor. the remaining 40% is specialized. As much as that would suggest that Plumbers are even close to Carpenters in skill level Opps More Trash Talk
 
A C 10 contractor does not need to be certified to work under their own license but if they work for another C 10 contractor they do have to be, but a contractor holding a B license (general building contractor) doing electrical work does not need to be certified, in my opinion the requirement for CA electricians to be certified when working for a C 10 contractor became law but doing it under other licenses does not require being certified, it should be either expanded to all electrical work or dropped all together.
