Without Prejudice.
Its not that complicated. Study the various code books so that you actually can verify it yourself. Get someone competent to do the job according to code.

Consider these possibilities:

If they have proof of competency, make them fill out an affidavit that they can and will do the job *in harmony with* such and such a code and after they are done make them complete and affidavit that they did the job IN HARMONY WITH the national or state or local code (or all of the above).

Now call an inspector from the local authority--or a retiree if you can find an union or guild that can locate one for you and pay ask him an inspection of the wiring before the drywall goes up.

Dont ask for a license or a permit. Just get it in writing that the wiring or w/e is done in harmony with widely accepted codes. Dont say that its done UNDER the code just in harmony with it.

If the govt. inspectors wont do it, just get someone that has competency and then verify--get them to make out certificates or affidavits in their professional capacity--the handiwork of those that did the work. Get three professionals to look it over. Get a book about housing inspections or those that pertain to specific compliance issues. Nothing wrong with being competent.
