Hi folks,
I've have about 6 years of precast experience and most recently doing consulting for several producers. I have done major projects in parking, retail, residential, and medical for 5 different producers and am familiar with drafters, engineers, project managers, and production staff at all of these clients. I've also done some small one-off stuff for other producers.
The company I currently work at usually does the engineering and drafting in-house, but the last two projects I've done they were engineering only and drafting was done by someone at the producer.
This really got me thinking that being self employed as a sub-contractor for producers could be a real possibility. My fees would be less since I'd be working out of a home office.
Does anybody have any idea if anyone is doing this? How could I gather some information to see if this is possible with producers? I want to be respectful of my current company, but also I need to know what's possible.
Any thoughts are much appreciated!
