You get a sense of the pace of work and control over schedule when I have a project in my hands vs relying on others to perform. This is one of the curses of the inner city builder in dealing with permitting issues. At times there is nothing you can do to get a project started. Once allowed to work, I have some really efficient specialty crews that are able to tackle a project and out of the noise and commotion you get progress. The cribbers and framers come to mind as dependable guys that make the biggest impact. After almost 9 months of effort we are into real building.
