Walk into the lobby of almost any commercial building between 6 AM and 9 AM and you’ll see the same thing: a clipboard, a sign-in sheet, and a line of contractors filling in name, company, and time. By 9 AM the sheet has thirty entries, three of which are illegible, four of which have no company name, and one of which is wearing a uniform from a vendor that doesn’t have current insurance on file.
