Elec_VA,
There comes a point, usually about 6 men, that it becomes counter productive for a Forman to try and work with the tools. And a Forman shouldn’t be expected to run more than 10 men. Of course every job is different depending on the complexity but if the Forman is trying to work with the tools instead of doing layout, ordering material and getting it staged as-builting and all the other things expected of a Forman, the end result is a crew without the tools material and layout to do the work. That is financially devastating to a job!
