Which makes this the widest opening the trades have had in a generation. The first company in a market to run the way its customers already buy doesn't compete on price. It just gets there first, every time.
You want to scale. Scaling has a price of admission.
Almost every owner wants the same thing: a bigger company that demands less of them, not more.
Not to work less. To own something that's worth something without you standing in the middle of it.
You can't get there while you're the estimator, the dispatcher, the closer, and collections. Growth stops at the edge of one calendar. Hiring alone doesn't fix it either: a good person with no system just means two people improvising instead of one.
It takes both. The right team, and the systems that let a normal team perform like a great one.
