Article Abstract:
The construction industry went through a turbulent period between 1986 and 1996, with the consequence that electrical contractors have been coping with great difficulties. One change to emerge is contractors' involvement in design, which includes prefabrication and off site designing. Future training must incorporate modern needs and employment practices must be updated.
