Bigger jobs vs smaller jobs
Interesting shift I’ve noticed over the years: the larger the projects get, the less the challenge is actually construction. The harder part becomes communication, scheduling, selections, revisions,...

I have the same experience - but also the bigger the project the more risk you take on and the more paranoid you need to be about other people working on it. That's why I like the 1-2 week jobs. You can make a good profit but it's not so many moving parts. I also feel like the challenge becomes finishing strong. Everyone gets too comfortable and starts to overlook things unless you have the right processes in place.
Couldn't agree more. The risk on the bigger jobs is huge. We used to do paint jobs, in and out in a week or two and you've got you're paid. Even if something went terribly wrong, it's a few gallons and hours to fix it. Sometimes I miss those days, but wouldn't trade it
