Explanation of Solution

The electrical contractor decides whether it is necessary to install non-metallic electrical boxes or metal electrical boxes in a house during the process of wiring.

When an electrician goes through the electrical plan, the particular electrical box to be mounted at a place in the house will be determined by him. Some building plan specifications require either metallic electrical boxes only or non-metallic electrical boxes only, but both non-metallic and metallic electrical boxes may be used during wiring in the house.

Conclusion:

The electrical contractor determines whether metal or nonmetal electrical boxes will be used in the house.
