The name of the problem

The dead day.

It is the day your crew costs full price and produces nothing. Rain. Waiting on inspection. Waiting on material. Another trade sitting on the front you need. Everyone in this business knows the dead day. Almost nobody puts it in the spreadsheet.

Your own crew, one month of payroll

Days that cost and produce

Subcontracted scope, same month

You pay for work delivered

Rain, inspection and the trade ahead of you do not stop payroll. They stop production. On a subcontracted scope that gap sits on our books.

Homeowner page

01

Hiring an employee is buying hours. You pay the hour, rain or shine.

02

Hiring Upright is buying delivered scope. The dead day belongs to whoever carries the payroll, and here that is us.

03

A company with its own crew depends on the calendar. A company that subcontracts depends on the scope.

The name of the problem

The part most subs leave out.

Ordinary subcontractors hand you people and hand the management right back. Your superintendent spends his Friday chasing an absence and reworking a bad pour.

Upright hands you the work with its own manager on site. Agnaldo runs the crew, owns the coordination and takes the heat. Your superintendent goes back to running the job.

Why there is no price on this page.

An estimate here starts with materials. Then hours times rate times number of workers, times a complexity multiplier that runs from 1.0 to 1.6. Then the site itself: truck access, uneven ground, work at height, weather risk, travel distance. Margin comes last.

The same sidewalk, same square footage, moves more than half in price depending on what sits around it.

A range published here would be wrong most of the time. Anyone who publishes one for this work is guessing or planning to cut a corner. Call and we price your site, not an average.

Call the person who will run your job.

Agnaldo answers in English, Portuguese and Spanish. If we are on a pour, leave a message and he calls back the same day.
