I beg to differ

Start begging.

No matter what you are doing in construction the end cost is foolishly thought of as reduction of price of products.

Only among the foolish.

You dont have the labor flexibility to much unless you start playing games which isn't to smart if you have an accident you carry insurance and they won't want to carry you.

You make my case.

It is a mickey mouse thing where client can't see the value of a costly flooring and you know darn well that you are trying to build to last not refurbish every two years.

No one can afford to build to last, since that puts the bid out of reach and doesn't win the project.

Methods of application differ tremendously too one more costly up front can be cost savings a few years down the road. Just ask the person who tired to take off wallcovering laid directly on plaster board. Here we go with cost the low bid lost again no thought up front to a take a close look underneath. Gazillion hours on the job.

Surprisingly, the down stream savings are generally not worth it. It's better to build mediocre quality so that it can be torn down soon and replaced by something in the future whose mediocrity will be better then the mediocrity of now. Besides, short lifetime means more jobs.
