Tell me about working with other trades or builders on the same unit.

What would you do

You find a mistake on a drawing that doesn't match the building in front of you. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they stop and ask rather than guessing, which prevents expensive rework.

What's a high leg on a 120/240V delta system, and why does it matter when you terminate?

What they are checking: Whether they know the wild leg hazard, which can destroy 120V equipment if connected wrong.

How do you make a reliable splice or termination on a control wire?

What they are checking: Whether they use correct strip length, connectors and torque so terminations don't loosen.
