OK, so I'm hijacking my own post...lol..but I had some thoughts/questions. Maybe I should start a new thread with this if anyone thinks it would be of any interest to anyone else.
Anyway...I'm understanding what daiku and a lot of other guys are saying about moving on once the frames are all finished. I understand the reasons...especially if you're days away from your home base but I was thinking about guys that have a hard time keeping their core crew together with enough work.
Its really the same in renovations from time to time. You take on other projects that you may normally never do. Stuff you'd sub out you end up having your own crew do just to keep everyone working.
I wondered why more companies don't at least have a few guys..or a small crew within their core that could stay behind (or not) to take on more of the project such as the windows and siding. The roof and trim work. Just a piece more of the action, especially outside so the owner can feel there's that much less of a burdon once the framers have gone.
Maybe even finish two three main rooms inside..enough so the owners can move in.
It seems that might be an attractive feature to offer. i don't really know...just curious about all of that.
It would be on one hand expanding the team/company which could act on the additional finish work or if the TFing was so busy then "everyone" moves on to the next project.
That finish crew could do nothing BUT renovations if things worked out better for periods of time that way..or not.
I know someone such as myself would LOVE an arrangement like that. To hold up the finish end of the business or move on with the crew to the next frame.
Just seems like a good way to grow a business but I may be missing something.
Think I should move this post to it's own folder or is it a moot point?
anyway...wheels are always turnin'..lol
