Hire a skilled crew and the results speak for themselves on the job site is my mantra. They show up, work more efficiently and they take care of details without nannying. In this instance the installer farmed out the Nosing fabricating job to someone else I haven’t worked with before. This took the noise and dust away from the job site and into a woodworking shop where it could be completed to a more exacting standard. It is up to the client to decide if the cost is worth it. When you are spending 8$ per square ft for the material (or more) I think the decision is easier to go with the A team for the nosing and install than take a chance and try to shave a little off the final bill and be unhappy with the outcome.
This work is so good you have to consider the cost is justified.
