Remodeling: The typical progression of a building contractor is this: You work as a carpenter, start doing work on your own, hire a helper, hire an experienced carpenter, start doing more complicated work, and, before you know it, you’re doing a half million in volume and realize you don’t actually know if you’re making any money or not. At that point, you start looking for resources that can help you move from busy to profitable.

While this article is written about a book that is specifically written for building contractors, I am sure there is a lot of information in the book that could be extremely useful for us in theater. To start, what we are doing is extremely similar to contractors in a lot of ways. If you look at production managers as contractors it makes a lot of sense. They have to deal with different companies (departments) who all do different things, all coming together to make one bigger thing happen. On top of this, most things we do and use (especially when it comes to tools and materials), we steel from other industries. So, why wouldn't a book meant for another industry also work for us. Lastly, I am also sure a lot of this information would be useful to homeowners as it would allow them to do a quick "double check" almost when hiring a contractor.
