This is why in Florida! A friend of mine does construction cleanup and debris hauling. From one subdivision in 8 months he collected enough leftover materials “trash” to build a 1800sg,ft 3 bed 2 bath with 5 car garage. This was a block house. Only thing he came out of pocket for was concrete,trusses, and cabinets and countertops. Everything else came from job sites where there is so much leftover. The supers never adjust the takeoffs. Too much work. The trades don’t care they make a percentage on that material. Recently the drywallers got smart. The houses would average about 30 to 50 4x12 sheets too many. Yes that many,well they would get paid only for however many sheets were ordered minus what was left over. Well guess what all of a sudden there are no more sheets left over,instead they cut them all up and throw them away. Don’t get me started on framing. Btw I do cabinetry and trim.
