Job Poll

Yep, emphasize QUALITY. But also seeing that these hacks can't turn out a top-quality job at the same speed we can. I usually figure (give or take) a day per 1000 bd ft. Seeing some of these guys take 3-4 weeks to do a job we coulda ko'd in 9-11 days.

And rest assured, some of these builders/GCs will get to pay for using those hacks. When these low-ballers don't pay the supply house and then they'll get that lien/bill dropped on 'em. It won't be such a bargain then....

oh yea.....they WILL and ARE eventually getting what they paid for. The kicker with drywall is that issues can stay non-existent until months to a year later, we all know this.

im already hearing how some of my DISLOYAL GC's (thru their own employees) are having drywall issues now with some of these new drywall subs (hacks).

I already have one builder coming BACK to me after using a hack that beat me on the last house by 40%. he found out these hacks were doing nearly a level 3 (barely) before spraying....and all the work looks like complete sh-t now.

the builder even had me look at the house, it just looked like crap. sloppy as hell. they had 9' clngs, and i ask the builder 'why didnt you tell these guys to use 54" board instead of regular 4 x 12s?'

he tells me: "well, i told them to use the 54" board....but they told me how its more expensive, and their drywall contract didnt include that"

......sigh. hahahhahhahaha....

Homeowners and spot lots get paid in installments. 50% the day prior to the load. 25%w= when the hangers are done 15% when the tapers are done and the balance after the touch up. Reason being that you dont know them they dont know you. Its a fair arrangement where things are paid in phases and the wheels stay greased. I like the builders who pay in two weeks. Thats a fair time to me for waiting. Gives them time to get it trimmed and painted and see how everything looks. Big builders and nationals get thirty to forty five days in exchange for volume.
Always good business when you keep money coming in. Cant go wrong.
