I do have an electrician, but i'm buying all the parts myself.
Then have him spec the parts! Are they there just for their good looks? No. If they are a licensed electrician, part of their job description and training is them knowing what the Codes are and how to properly spec all parts needed. He has the eyeballs on the ground so to speak to see and understand what you are doing.Ja it will take a bit of time for them to do it and you will be charged for it either separately with actual work billed later or as part of them doing the whole shebang. If they do this kind of work often, odds are they can get some sort of contractor discount on all the gear needed vs you buying it HomeDepot et al. That said, yes, it is good for you to be able to see the equipment list the electrician comes up with so you *can* check around to see how the costs look before actual gear is bought...
Getting tips from random people is not the way to design/build anything.
