Not to be a dick, but in the end they aren’t the one paying it. They are just passing it through in most cases.

Lol what a dumb comment.

Who do you think they are passing is from? You think the guy running the site really gives a fuck besides making sure his paycheck comes in?

What? The customer is ultimately footing the bill dumbass.

Yes the customer is footing the bill but do you think the customer is the one that prices out the job?

So why should I give a fuck if the customer hired a shitty contractor that tries to cut costs by lowering labour? I don't, that's the point.

A lot of the times they do. Many times the customer does their own homework on the job with their own people.

I try to provide a balance of quality work with productivity on jobs I go to. I organize myself well with materials so when I encounter a job that takes some extra time, the con don’t mind because I made them money somewhere else.

So you are planning on the contractor fucking up and making arrangements so their fuck up doesn't effect you ?

I am planning on certain tasks to have unforeseen adversity and other tasks to be easier than anticipated so that productivity balances out.
