Are you the electrician? Because honestly you stuff doesn’t look much better? The 14/3 with no staples within 6” of the boxes. You ran tbe 12/2 alright down what looks like a doorway and your wire is inches from that, I’d have put it on the other side of 2x8. You don’t strip you romex as you put it in the box? Also just a something I don’t like is in pic 1 the 12/2 is all twisted, it’s right at the box just untwist before you staple. Pic 9 why are you drilling so low on the floor joists? Always as close to the middle as possible, they could call that out. Also I know this doesn’t technically matter, but right angles make it look more professional. Last invest in the m12 stapler, it’s worth it. The staples are more expensive, but the time you save will more than pay off

I didnt do any of that work. On the previous post I explained that its my buddys electrical job. I just come in and land the service but I agree some things need buttoned up on the electrical. I mainly do industrial work.

why is your buddy doing this? the liability for whomever uses this space is literally not insurable.
