    EIC customer or builders details

    I normally notify the job with the customers details. However the builder I work for has had a falling out with the customer due to matters not related to my work, and has said the EIC and notifying of the job is to be in his name. Is this allowed? Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk

    I've worked for a few builders over the years, and all of them seem to have a "go to" electrician they call upon when needed who'll seemingly sign anything off, regardless of who installed it, how they installed it, or whether or not it complies. I just can't get my head around how there are...
