// LESSONS FROM Tidal Coast Construction Limited
Scaling headcount faster than culture can absorb it forces you to keep wrong-fit hires — fix it earlier, even if it feels disloyal.
Spreading crews across too many sites simultaneously to 'keep everyone happy' actually disappoints all clients — sequence projects instead.
In cladding, product knowledge accounts for roughly 90% of the estimating task — the takeoff math is the easy part.
The barrier to entry in complex envelope cladding is knowledge-based, not capital-based — deliberately avoid low-skill commodities like vinyl where you cannot compete on margin.
Build a proprietary labor database per product type so future estimates reflect your actual production rates, not generic North American data.
Translate square-footage targets into countable field units (bundles, pieces) so crews can self-monitor production without needing to do math at end of day.
