I have to second this. We did our basement two years ago and me, a buddy and a few cases of beer did the electrical. We bought a wiring guide from home depot and laid the whole thing out on the floor and then installed it piece by piece. After you get it all in (before you connect it to the source) you call the city inspector and he comes to check out if there are any major issues with the job you did. Then he approves it and you can connect to your main panel. The only deficiency we had was about some of the spacing of the staples being over the allowable.
Trust me, if I had to do my basement again I would be all over the electrical and the mudding would have been done by a pro.
