> Good morning!
|
|
> Do you add branch terminations to panelboards?
|
|
> If so, how does your 'distribution' section looks?
|

|
|
Morning! Yes to the first question, ? to the second
|
|
|
|
> As all panelboards on a job don't have the same size/# of terminations,
|
|
> I assume you would have a plethora of same size boards in the job, with different terms.
|
|
> How do you list them?

> Ah, so you just chuck in a lot # of terms per board and call it good?
|
|
|
|
Essentially.
|
|
Ben's direction was to pick a schedule
|
|
on the upper end of terms for each size panel
|
|
to be representative of the rest.
|
|
At my old place I would have made a designation for each panel,
|
|
I'm not upset to leave that behind.
|
|
I see no reason you couldn't just make each size once
|
|
and keep it in a temp job.
|
|
I would, but I usually extract the schedules anyway
|
|
so I just use the actual average.
|

|
|
|
|
The mech connection assemblies have the load side term,
|
|
the feeder assemblies have both sides,
|
|
the branch assemblies don't have either,
|
|
that's why he got you, I think.
|
|
|
|
I don't think my way is best
|
|
unless you already have all the circuits in a big table for other reasons.
|
|
Lot of effort for a marginal increase in certainty above a heuristic like Ben's.
|
|
|
|
I'm working on a job Noah started now,
|
|
he made certain panels separate from what I assume is the average
|
|
and labeled them with the name of the panel.
|
|
If I had a job where some were significantly more full than others
|
|
I _might_ do something similar,
|
|
but I'd probably name them
|
|
"... 1-Section, ~25% Fill"/"... 1-Section, ~75% Fill" instead.
|
|
But that's a lot of mental overhead.

Tracking contractor growth by project square footage
|
|
rather than contract value dollars.
|
|
Account for market shifts and regional differences.
|
|
|
|
Problematic for other than new residential construction.
|
|
Do you count site area?
|
|
Out of contract building area for renovations?
|
|
|
|
Maybe the sum of in-contract building area and other areas prorated somehow.
|
|
|
|
Seems imminently gameable.
