A sub, and one we book, schedule and stand behind

A sub. Same as the slab, same as the permit

Three parts of this job are subcontracted to standing partners: the permit, the concrete, and the erection. We would rather write that down than have you find it out from a truck with somebody else's name on it.

It is worth being blunt about, because this industry oversells it constantly. "One crew, no subs" is close to a slogan, and it is very rarely true of the whole job.

What you are actually buying

Not the absence of a sub. The absence of the coordination.

• One contract and one phone number, from the first sketch to the last screw.
• We book the trades and hold the order they come in, so the sequencing is our problem.
• The crew works to the drawing the steel was cut from, not to a sketch they were handed.
• If something is wrong afterwards, you call us. Whose truck it was is our business.

Anyone who has managed a build themselves knows that the gap between trades is where the weeks go. That gap is what you are paying somebody to own.

Why this page exists at all

Because for a while this site said otherwise. Two pages claimed the frame was set by our own crew, which nobody had actually asked about, and both were corrected the day the question got put properly.

Somebody told "no subs" who then meets a sub feels lied to even when the job goes perfectly, and the job usually does go perfectly. It is not worth the sentence.

One thing that is genuinely ours

The steel. It is rolled in Azle, on our own line, which is why a panel that turns up short is a phone call rather than a reorder from a supplier with its own lead time. That part is not coordination — that is the mill.
