Most Important Trade

Transcript

I've talked a lot about what the coolest trade is. Let's go into what the most important trade is. Arguably, okay? Could be a lot of different people. Steel, concrete, psych guys, plumbers, HVAC, they're all extremely important. And, you know, really no one is more important than anyone else. But I will tell you this, from a general contractor's perspective, having a good electrician is a make or break precipice moment for a project. Your electrician is going to be on a job site so early and will be there so late. And everyone else says, oh, first tier, last to leave. In many, many instances, the electrician is actually the last one to leave the project when it's all said and done. And having a good electrician that can be trusted and kind of is like a second set of eyes is worth a lot of money. And if you have a bad electrician, your job is going to be a real problem. Just take my word for it. Uh, every trade can be overcome, a bad electrician cannot.
