It feels like the finish work goes on forever! And, any big cost savings I was shooting for by GC'ing the 2nd evaporated quickly as contractors delayed, failed to show, etc., so they could respond to the builder relationships they were trying to cultivate because they were potential repeat business and I was not. A good GC with a book full of contacts is worth his weight in gold, IMO.
My boss said the exact same thing. Dealing with the delays of subs will end up costing you a lot more than you expect.
