Inspection of electrical installation - only possible with an electrician without a general contractor?

Thank you for the note.

I do want to lose weight. I just don't want to miss any steps in the December rush that could come back to bite me later. Thank you!

The general contractor is of the opinion that the electrician can accept the electrical installation on his behalf.

I don’t understand that. When accepting in the sense that the client accepts the work, the electrician is the opposing party to you and the general contractor; at most, you could represent the general contractor. When accepting the properly executed electrical installation, the electrician can only confirm for himself that he did it properly and that no one has tampered with it since. More important for you is that you explicitly accept only the electrical installation as a partial performance of the general contractor on the entire work "house."

The general contractor commissioned the electrician; both are basically working on the same side. Since the general contractor is not an electrician/expert in this field, he wishes for the electrician to carry out the acceptance of the electrical installation accordingly. It is somewhat more inconvenient for the painter because the electrician will have completed all his services, and the painter will therefore have to remove the cover plates and switches, although he can also simply tape them off if necessary.

I will then, as recommended, actually only visually inspect the electrical installation for defects, have the measurement report handed over to me as proof that all sockets work, and then sign the acceptance report with the electrician.
