Ever watch some of these guys work?


Some of the rock teams I've seen are the biggest slobs in any of the
trades. Huge gobs of mud all over the floors. Boxes completely filled
with mud. Breaker boxes splattered to the point that wires have to be
dug out with a screwdriver. Floors not even swept when they leave.
Rock scraps thrown out windows and doors into rain and puddles. The
list goes on...


ya, but they got paid. why should they change?


In boom times, when the GC has to scramble for crews to meet a schedule,
they can maybe get away with that. In leaner times, a GC can afford to
be picky. If a sub does slob work and doesn't clean up after themselves,
they don't get invited back. In smaller towns, word-of-mouth spreads
fast. Better to pay a little more for quality work, and not have to do a
lot of rework and cleanup before the next trade can get in there.
