You guys beat me to it. I don't live there (yet) but in investigating my housing options one was buying a lot and having a contractor build from scratch. I thought I would be able to do the electrical myself and some of the plumbing (I have experience) to save money. Then I find it's not allowed. I don't really understand this because if a permit is obtained, plans submitted and approved then all work inspected and signed off by the inspector why would it matter who did the work? If it meets code it meets code.
I see the comment about it being an amendment to the code, but it is still part of that process and that is what I would change.
