Need an Example of a 1 line drawing - Electrical

Howdy BP,

I need an example of an electrical one line drawing for our commercial building permit (11-plex). If you have one that has passed through a city (preferably Pasadena TX), I would like to look at it. Please PM me for my email address.

Our issue seems to be that there is so much work in Houston that any Master electrician in our price range is balking at the idea of doing a drawing. I would like to see what the drawing entails, see how much we can start for them, and then bring them in to complete it.

So I am looking for an example that would cover the following from our "reasons for rejection":

"Provide complete electrical plans including one line diagram with all conduit and conductor sizes with insulation types, total load with calculations, panel schedule with arc fault, grounding, all outlets and lighting with circuity, light fixture schedule, also show electrical panel location in the apartment"

My goal is to look at the example and complete a framework for the Mater Electrician to work in. This would include the drawing of the property, location of breakers, and other stuff that you don't need to be an electrician to know of. Then they can do the actual technical parts.
