The Subcontractor Share Their Insights
October 13, 2020 webinar recap
During the October Breakfast of the Oregon Chapter, we had representation from three trades talking about their experiences with DB and why they like it. Kurt Hamilton from Cherry City Electric, Creighton Kearns from Total Mechanical and Greg Mercurio of WPI talked to us about what their scope is as part of a DB team, when they like to be involved and what drawings they produce for jobs. It was great to hear about the coordination that happens within the sub trades, like prefabricated walls (WPI) being sent to electrical prefab shops.
