nobody on Nostr: The only things I didn’t like about super work was upper management shaving days ...

The only things I didn’t like about super work was upper management shaving days off my completion/possession dates so they could get paid sooner, dealing with building inspectors, and trying to get shit built on budget when the estimators and sales staff missed major parts of the material package in their estimates. They were working off a Timberline estimating database that was four years out of date, so materials and labor they estimated at $X per board or per square foot or per hour were now 50% more expensive. But the contract was already signed with the customer at the old labour and material prices, so I had to find people that would do the work basically for no profit. And try to find bargains on materials of poorer quality. And hold the subs to completing their deficiency lists by withholding 30% of their invoices. And personally run on short notice for all the materials they forgot on the estimates. Exterior wall studs, 2x10 headers, roof sheeting etc. Constantly short. That and framing packages that instantly warped into unusable shape once the banding came off. The company I worked for usually had me on 3-4 new stick builds, 3-4 ready to move homes, and 3-4 renovations at any given time. It was stressful as fuck. I’d stay on the tools myself man lol.
