12 jobs in one day in Mesa, or slow and steady at 6, which crew runs smarter
Last Tuesday my two man crew knocked out 12 installs in Mesa before 4pm while the other truck did 6 and still went home late. One side says volume wins and you hustle while the work is there, the other side says rushing is how you get a callback for a loose fitting. Our 12 job day had zero callbacks but I know that won't hold forever. What's your magic number before quality starts slipping?
Wait, 12 installs before 4pm with just two guys? That's hauling it, no way my crew could keep that pace and still pass a leak check. I get why the other truck only did 6 though, because once you start cutting corners on the fittings you don't even notice it until the water's running down the wall a week later. Honestly my gut says somewhere around 8 to 9 is where the sweet spot is before guys start skipping steps without meaning to. The zero callbacks on your 12 day is solid, but you said it yourself, that luck won't last and a callback costs you way more than the jobs you squeezed in. Slow and steady wins when you factor in the unpaid trip back out there.
