Idk man, 2 dudes did my 30X50 in 2 days. They were humpin'. Almost everything was pre-cut. Bolts together like an erector set. If I was 20 years younger.....

I just asked the lead guy if they are going to finish it today, including clean up. He said yes.

They have a magnet.

Was more of an observation that when you don't have a million safety rules to follow.....$hit gets done quickly!!!

1st, I wanna say - looking good! You'll enjoy it for years to come, and wonder how you ever got by without it, enjoy!

Mine was different, I wired the shop and, while waiting to trench and install the service, I took an extension cord, from my RV hookup, to the shop. I back-fed the panel with a 2-pole, 30 Amp beaker since the RV outlet was 30 Amp and I used 10 GA wire (you can see my home, made 8 GA welder extension cord there). FYI - I used a 4x8x3/4 sheet of plywood from the floor to the 8' girt, for the distribution area, gives you plenty of room for your panel, conduit supports, and accessories. Stayed like that for a couple Months until I hired a backhoe. Later after doors and my air compressor were installed, I wired them in too. There's usually a work around to get it going, just be creative and SAFE.

My inside box was mounted on uni-strut It seems to be a common way to do this, and have seen quite few others done the same way.I may have said it previously or elsewhere I had my neighbor who is a licensed electrician wire it up for me and for my situation tying into the house would have required lots of hand digging around a septic and drain field so it ended up on a separate meter. I'm ok with that as if I have issues at the house the garage is not also "down" and still have power on the property.

Dont have and dont follow are differemt things. OSHA compliance is still supposed to be in effect but enforcement of said rules is, well, mainly up to employer on short term jobs.

well, licensed and insured can be very important when you let people work on your property or stuff.

I didn’t verify it, but my guess is that the building company wouldn’t hire them as contractors if they weren’t licensed and insured.
