Are GC’s blue color
I’ve pretty much reached the role of GC. A lot of the skilled trade work I do not do however the gopher bullshit logistics, planning, bidding and estimating for material guys and so on so forth is really what I’ve taken up.
Well, I do like using my excavator and clearing shit. I’ve learned that I could be a lot more useful by sitting in the office and doing a managerial shit. I’m still having the ability to run out. Check on site bring miscellaneous tools or material to make sure that the subs or my guys are working with a positive flow.
I ’ve reached a stage where my value lies in project management rather than manual labor. While I have the tools and the background—having done the grunt work myself for years—it’s now more efficient to sub out the trades and focus on sourcing materials and logistics. Still, you can’t escape the hands-on stuff entirely; I just had to head to the shop the custom cut some pieces for two exterior door installs that obviously had unforeseen circumstances
So am I blue collar?
