Tim Tam,When you say
Tim Tam,
When you say specialized contractor do you mean one that work on many large projects as a subcontractor or one working as general contractor doing many small jobs?
Subcontractors usually are required to follow General Contractor schedule, they are at the lowest of food chain, this I don't like.
I prefer being head of lion, if not possible then I prefer being head of mouse rather than tail of lion. If being tail is the only option then tail of lion.
Best Regards,
Rafael

Yes, specialized contractor
Yes, specialized contractor as in trade subcontractor like facade, MEP and interior architectural , etc. General contractor as in main contractor. My experience so far is planner tend to take on more responsibility in specialist contractor rather than main contractor . I think is more of choosing between the head of a mouse to the tail of a lion. As for head of lion, it is very unusual that planners take on at that level. Correct me if I am wrong. And if it's the tail of a mouse, I think is time that planner change a job.
