CRAFT

Previously Published 21 August 12

Craft is a word that has fallen out of common useage. This word was used recently by the most exacting contractor with whom we have had the pleasure to work. His observation is that all parties working on a project bring their respective crafts to the building process. And that it is this craft which sets the final level of quality of a construction project. With the increasing generalization of quality (“jack of all trades, master of none”), it was nice to be reminded of craft, and the significance of it in the building process.
