Why NEC Plumbing Compliance Matters

National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) compliance for plumbing drawings is critical because violations discovered during plan review delay permits, and issues found during construction result in costly rework, change orders, and schedule delays. Catching NEC plumbing issues during preconstruction costs 10x less than fixing them in the field (CII, 1-10-100 Rule).
