I just gotta ask and this is a serious question not just a rant. Why in the world do subs start a job at your house, do about 20% of the work and then not show up for a week or two? Then they finally show up and do about 20% more work and they’re gone again. Why have multiple jobs open at the same time and do minimal work at each? All that does is piss off all the owners. When you start a job, why not stay until it’s finished and move on to the next?
I’m building a house and after waiting four months for brick, the brick layers worked three days last week and haven’t been back since. WTH? Is it a cash flow issue? Are you trying to drag out each job to meet your payroll? All it makes me do is cuss the owner and tell all my friends to never use them again.
If you are a one time customer and not a builder with repeat business this is what you can expect. They're probably just filling in down time between contractors projects at your project.
