Your alarm blares before dawn, but you're used to it. You arrive at the new medical office building in downtown Phoenix as the sun just begins to warm the sky. After clocking in, you grab your knee pads, safety glasses, and tool belt. The foreman, Dave, points to the waiting room layout. Today's task: LVT plank installation over 2,000 square feet.
