[QUOTE="shurur, post: 16415351, member: 113850"] If what I said offends you, then I am sorry to have hurt your feelings. I don't want you to be unhappy. But If what I said hit a nerve, you should think about why. Again, no professional should mind the owner being present and on top of the work getting done. This should include the GC. Your comment leads me to believe that you are probably the tradesman who can't get jobs because of your attitude, and you probably get lousy reviews as well. You fit the profile of who I am talking about. Listen to yourself. Again, the money and the property belong to the owner..not the contractors or the GC. The owner is THE BOSS, and should monitor the work being done. You guys ultimately work for the owner of the property. That is the nature and life blood of your business. Yours are the kind of small comments I get from contractors who can't read an engineering plan and come up with a list of materials from it. Then they get angry with me, because they are not in full command of their supposed trade. Common comment: "I don't know how to read a plan , but I know how to build a fill-in-the blank." An owner can't afford someone who doesn't know his trade and doesn't stay on the job and complete it in on time. The only real way of confirming this is to be a constant (neutral) presence, deferring to the GC until or unless the trust is lost in him. [/QUOTE]
