ABSTRACT
If we were at a party, and I asked you what you did for a living, how would you respond? If you’re like most construction professionals, you’d probably mutter, “I build buildings,” and quickly move on to the appetizer table. But let’s say we’d both had more than our fair share of cocktails. If I pressed you, you might say something like, “I baby-sit subcontractors,” or if you’re a subcontractor, you might grunt and say, “I make those know-nothing GCs look good.” Then it would be my turn to hit the appetizers. But I’d like you to think about this question far more broadly, because I’d like you to appreciate what you do as much as I do.
