Got into it with a carpenter today cause of my receptacle placement. It's detailed for a three basin counter top about 8' long. Above the counter top is going to be a one piece mirror about 7' long. I placed one receptacle on each side of the mirror thinking it would eliminate having to cut the mirror.
Guy said his soap dispensers are detailed for where my receptacles are. Which is true but the plans didn't show receptacles. Long story short I told the guy there had to be a receptacle 3' from each basin. Which required me to put them on each side of the countertop. I also told him appliance cords weren't very long and someone on one side wouldn't be able to plug in across the entire setup.
He ended up agreeing with me but when I went back and looked it up I could only find the requirement to be for dwelling units. This is a warehouse.

I guess there isn't any requirement for a commercial restroom. Anyone have a different code reference that would apply?
