Absolutely not! That is not our approach at all. Our philosophy is firmly rooted in the belief that if we provide the framework and environment for our sub-trade partners to perform, they will! And guess what? They do! It’s a very simple secret called ‘scheduling’. All of our trades know weeks in advance, when we need them to start and when we need them to finish. We ensure that they have all of the information and tools that they need, along with a clean, safe work site, to do their job the way that they know how to do it. Keith and Greg are pretty good carpenters themselves, but the trades people we use are top-notch. Every one of them is committed to their craft and all they want to do is get their job done, get paid, and go home with a sense of pride in having achieved the level of craftsmanship that they expect of themselves. When we provide an environment where this can happen, amazing things occur. The job gets done. It gets done right. It gets done on-time. And it gets done on-budget. Quality is the natural result of this kind of approach.

« You have mentioned sub-trades. Does Cobalt do any of the work ‘in-house’ or is all work done by sub-trades? Is 8 weeks really all that fast? »
