    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    is it going to take them 8 years to finish it like an OZ project?

    lol...silly carpenters take forever. Especially if they are working T&M.

    My union glaziers don't mess around and I don't bid T&M jobs. With 300 guys sitting in the hall without jobs we have the best of the best working here. I have had an apprentice and journeyman on site for 3 days. They installed 32 frames and glazed over 60 lites of glass. I know how to push a job, but these guys don't need it. I got 34 man days of labor I allotted and my guys have used up 4 for fabrication and 6 installing so far. In the end I have approximated they will use 20 days total leaving me 14 under budget. At over $500 per day cost per man thats a home run.

    I beat out the other contractors and I am not using sub par materials so I'd say I bid it just fine. Can't leave money on the table.

    Yep. When I run jobs less then budget I get "pat on back" - the tricky part is getting jobs with with enough profit. I can bid and win jobs all day long at low profit percentages, but I'm not in it for high volume at low percentages. Not only does it kill me with work it ruins the market place and economy. Doing the least amount of work with the most amount of profit while beating out every other contractor is key. Problem is some of the contractors don't have the same insight and price jobs way to low, leaving money on the table and hurting everyone in the end including themselves.
