// LESSONS FROM Soubliere-Trinity
Winning a government-program anchor contract early provides stable volume that funds growth into riskier commercial work.
Over-reliance on a single government program is a political risk; deliberately diversify revenue streams before the next election cycle.
A senior GC mentor who trusts you with jobs and teaches you the commercial ropes compresses years of learning you cannot replicate alone.
Rapid revenue growth without matching profit is a trap; 700% growth in a year may leave nothing on the bottom line.
When entering a new city, plan to hire locally within six to twelve months or travel costs will permanently price you out of smaller jobs.
Bundling multiple interior-envelope scopes under one subcontract reduces GC coordination overhead and improves schedule predictability for both parties.
