The maintenance department is most likely called in the case you mention because they usually have the needed information about the building INCLUDING WHERE THE GAS LINES RUN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING! {that the contractor will need to know if called and hired} If you are an actual contractor then you would know it, understand it, and I would not be wasting my time explaining it to you which makes me think you know not what you say you do.

As a California plumbing contractor, I like it when a maintenance man is around that knows the building, or the shopping mall, or the high rise condo building, but it is rarely available.

I don't recall ever needing anyone to show me how gas lines run from the meter, when you have run gas lines yourself for decades, you get a pretty good idea how things run, and I don't recall that help being available, but it is always nice to have someone around that can unlock doors for you and such. I don't know whether some plumbers used to bully you or what, but it sure is amusing to learn how much you dislike the plumbing industry.

Plumbers never bothered me. Heck I lived and worked amongst about 75 of them for 4 years and not a cross word exchanged between us. Jerks trolling threadss looking for arguements and enjoying themselves while doing so bother me though and I soon loose patience with such persons. Good Day.
