For general contractors
Your electrical contractor says power-on and air-on are tracking. I’ll tell you if the manpower backs that up.
Independent milestone and manpower audits for GCs who need to know — not guess — whether their electrical sub will hit power-on, air-on, and temp removal. Plus ShefaLinx Job Tracker will show the data to back it up.

What Manloader shows
A shortfall you can see three weeks out.
This is the same screen an EC running ShefaLinx looks at — man-hours logged, roadblocks open, and crew loaded against capacity, week by week.
Man-hours logged
Open roadblocks
1 week flagged
Manloader caught the shortfall three weeks before the crew was due on site — early enough to actually do something about it.
Manloader
Weekly crew loading
Flags a shortfall while there's still time to add crew or resequence — not after the week is gone.
What I check
Independent oversight for the GC, not a bigger scope for the EC.
You're not hiring me to manage your electrical sub. You're hiring me to tell you the truth about them — in writing, before a missed milestone costs you the schedule.
Constructability & Coordination Review
A GC-led second set of eyes on the electrical drawings — checked against mechanical and structural — before a conflict in the field costs you a milestone.
Before mobilization, or whenever drawings update
Milestone Risk Audits
An independent read on whether your EC is actually going to hit power-on, air-on, and temp removal — not their read on it.
Every 2–4 weeks through construction
Manpower Verification
A crew count is a promise. This is the math that checks whether the EC can actually keep it.
Before a milestone push, or on request
RFI & Change Order Review
An independent technical read on whether an EC's cost or time claim actually holds up — before you approve it.
As RFIs and change orders come in
Power-On, Air-On & Temp Removal Readiness
The electrical-specific punch list that has to close before the milestone actually happens — not after it's missed.
2–3 weeks before each milestone
Closeout Verification
An independent walk confirming the EC's punch list and closeout package are actually done before you tell the owner they are.

How it works
An independent read on the EC, backed by real numbers.
Every audit is a drawing review, a site walk, or a manpower calculation — never a guess. ShefaLinx is the same system, so if your EC already tracks progress there, the numbers are already waiting.
The audit
Before mobilization, that's a coordination review of the drawings. Once the job's underway, it's a site walk checking the EC's percent-complete against what's actually installed, and the manpower math against what's left on the calendar. Either way, you get a written status — not a summary of a phone call.
How engagements workThe software
ShefaLinx tracks punch items, manpower, and milestones — power-on, air-on, temp removal — in real time. If your EC already runs it, you get visibility into where things stand instead of waiting for the Monday update.
See ShefaLinxBuilt for the field
The same system that backs up the audit.
ShefaLinx is in daily use on real jobs — not a demo, not a pilot. It's not required for an audit, but if your EC already runs it, the numbers are already there.
ShefaLinx
Milestone and manpower tracking an EC runs, a GC can trust.
Punch lists, manpower, and roadblocks in one place, built by superintendents for superintendents. When an EC runs it, the GC gets real numbers on power-on, air-on, and temp removal — instead of finding out at the OAC meeting.
- Milestone tracking for power-on, air-on, temp removal, and any other date the schedule hinges on
- Live job dashboard: tasks open, blocked, man-hours, and percent complete
- Roadblock flags — design/RFI, predecessor, sequencing, change order, trade stacking
- Completion lists with photo uploads, tied to the task
- Workday length switching between 8, 10, and 12 hour days
Manloader
Turns the schedule into a weekly crew loading chart with real labor cost, and flags the week a crew falls short before that shortfall costs a milestone.
Field Calculators
Duration, install quantity, conduit per 100 ft, wire per 1000 ft, crew hours, and install goals — run on the phone, in the field.
Completion Lists
Punch items assigned by trade with due dates, photo evidence, and a closeout report generated from what the crew actually logged.

The manpower math, running live on this page.
The Manpower tab is exactly what I check against an EC's crew commitment — the same calculations built into ShefaLinx. Change the inputs and watch it move.
Within the 3% recommended in NEC 210.19(A) / 215.2(A).
VD = √3 × 12.9 × 210 A × 240 ft ÷ 250,000 cmil
Reference calculations for estimating and checking your own work — not a substitute for a stamped design. Values follow the 2023 NEC; confirm against the code cycle your jurisdiction has adopted.
Worried your EC won't make power-on?
Tell me the milestone date and what's making you nervous. Thirty minutes on the phone tells us both whether an audit is worth it — no obligation either way.
