re: Why does it seem like commercial construction projects take forever these days ?

Whoever McDonalds got to tear down the location on Perkins/Lee is who we need in charge of everything.

National tenants such as McDonalds are a much different animal than typical commercial projects. They have their own general contractors that do nothing but their work, the end user has national purchasing agreements with their equipment and material supplier that have these items on their shelves awaiting the particular project, and the labor base works 7 days a week. They have performed the same scope of work over and over allowing an expedited turnover.
