Travelling with Brian Smarslok and Joel Jansen on [[2026-01-15]] to visit [[woodbury-heights|an awarded project]] in New Jersey. Flying from TPA to PHL, departure @ 7:00AM. We'll be meeting with the developer, [Greystar](https://www.greystar.com/). ### Woodbury Heights ```yaml project-name: GSC Ltd.

The job appears to be doing poorly, at current GP variance of -$299,356. About $93,000.00 profit on a $2,391,378 job (~3% margin, down from 16.4% as bid). Intend to ask Joel what was missed if he knows, and more generally if he has a strategy for figuring out, between BPM, The Hub, and however many other places we can look. I doubt very seriously that mismanagement can be blamed for any significant portion of variance that extreme.
