Pipeline for the People

About this episode

The episode discusses whether to increase crew size to meet market demand or to manage existing resources more effectively.

We constantly hear builders talking about the pipeline of work in queue and how they’re gonna load up… But should you ramp up and add crew to match the demand in the market? Or is it better to reduce the volume of input down to what your existing crew can manage?
