professional advice: do process planning. define the duration of each stage, tell the customer. good luck.

per regulations: your business needs to have these and those permits. ask an accountant.

to do this job: 1) ask the customer. 2) get the answer. 3) do it. easy.

data analysis: as demand rises, capacity usually drops by 30-50%. that's your situation. you need to increase capacity.

if you're struggling ask other tradesmen. they're your best guides. there's no magic bullet.

There's also a measurement aspect to this. If you don't write this down from the start, it leads to arguments later.

Start with a small trial; don't commit to everything at once.

Exactly, and not many people know this. When making a decision, first look at what data you have on hand.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, that was the answer I was looking for. Processes without records never improve, because you don't know what to fix.

Measure first, then divide. When the order is right, the debate ends. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I've been down this road, let me tell you. Taking notes for two weeks yields better results than a six-month estimate.

If I were you, I'd go this route.

You're right I've been down that road too. The real issue isn't the number, but what it's based on.

Thanks, this was very helpful. Most time waste accumulates in tasks waiting for approval.

Just leaving this note it might be useful.

I have no experience with electrician finding workers, so I'm asking. When we decide without measuring, we always end up in the same place.

I partly agree, partly disagree. Everything goes well for the first three months; problems arise in the fourth.

I'm also curious if anyone does it differently.

There is something to watch out for. If you get three different answers on a topic, the question was asked wrong.

If I were you I'd go this route.

I'm a small business, let me explain from my side. Mistakes made on the electrician finding workers side are usually reversible but expensive.
