GC / OR friends - how much do you rely on us MEP PMs for interpretation of plans?
EC PM here currently on a large government job. When I send outage notices, I’m constantly being asked to provide lists of affected equipment along with it. Is it not reasonable to assume that someone on GC side should be able to look at the one-line and know what is going to be dark when I tell them “substation XYZ Breaker 123” will be turned off? It’s kind of concerning honestly. I have done this a few times now and it doesn’t seem like anyone is learning anything.
Let me know your thoughts. I love talking shop when the GC shows genuine intrigue and/or concern about an electrical issue, but this feels like passing down GC paperwork to a specialty sub PM.
