If a movie were made about the average new construction job for painters, it wouldn't have a happy ending.

PDCA hopes that such definitions will become a standard part of subcontract language. We're not going to be the fall guys. While they wait for the task force to complete its work, contractors can arm themselves with helpful tips about how to survive the painting endgame.
