> At no time in any type of construction does quality take a back seat to the schedule.It is that type of mentality that causes non payment and the opinion of a lot of MSO management people that contractors are not to be trusted.
> Part of proper construction scheduling is determining the correct number of workers needed to complete the build on schedule.This has nothing to do with quality.

It is in essence whether or not the deadlines are the top priority or the quality in conjunction with a realistic deadline are the top priority. If the "cable provider is more concerned with the deadline date then quality takes a back seat. One must determine the priority list of the "cable provider". Corporate Executives have little or no idea what it takes to put "it" up or to cut "it" hot, the only priority on their agenda is their income, they are gonna see from the work preformed. You'll have to hammer on the " cable provider" in order to ascertain the criteria on which you'll proceed. If not you'll get your ass burned.
