Had a good college buddy who was a builder, his dad and his brothers were also builders. The families wedding present to my buddy was a new home built by the family. They, a family of builders, used a sub to do electrical because "you don't do that shite if you aren't a licensed electrician," In fact, he told me at the time that a licensed electrician is the only person who can hook the main power to a home. Period. I believe there are similar rules around plumbing and sewer too. So no way she didn't use Subs.

I don't disagree with your post as a whole (and no way this family built this home from scratch), but the power company is going to hook the main power to the home. Also the municipality dictates code requirements. It won't be the same everywhere. Not sure if it's still the case, but where I am if you were not in the city, the power company didn't require a permit posted to have power connected.

Depends where you are for electrical. I will say that to pull an electrical permit it's usually a master electrician that has to pull the permit. Hell, in Washington DC and Maryland I have to have a master electrician pull my low voltage permits.
