The question is, how do you incentivize the superintendant to speed up work BUT not lose quality?

Here is the relevant old language of RCW 18.27.010: "Contractor" also includes any person, firm, corporation, or other entity covered by this subsection, whether or not registered as required under this chapter or who are otherwise required to be registered or licensed by law, who offer to sell their property without occupying or using the structures, projects, developments, or improvements for more than one year from the date the structure, project, development, or improvement was substantially completed or abandoned.And here is the additional new language:A person, firm, corporation, or other entity is not a contractor under this subsection (1)(c) if the person, firm, corporation, or other entity contracts with a registered general  contractor and does not superintend the work. 

Their job is similar to a site superintendent - they oversee work by people they know and jump in when needed to finish things. 

We have a decent amount of HQ overhead (operations manager, transaction coordinators, admin assistants, office rent, travel expenses, etc), plus each market/field has another $20k or so of monthly overhead -- sales, project manager, superintendent, admin, office costs, etc.The three options we have come up with are:1. each employee keeps time on the amount of time spent on each house and we bill this to each house, like a law firm would work (this is hard and time consuming)2. we pass through all of the overhead to the fund directly, like the fund is investing in a company. 

Here's a list of expenses:Accounting Advertising Insurance (fire and liability) Janitorial Service Lawn/Snow Legal Licenses Miscellaneous Property Management Repairs and Maintenance Resident Superintendent Supplies Trash Removal- Taxes - Real Estate Personal Property Payroll Other - Utilities - Electricity Fuel Oil Gas Sewer and Water TelephoneThanks in advance!

I do run several jobs at a time, but when I do, I put a foreman/lead/superintendent at site all the time and monitor them twice a day.

Property taxes are high in Shaker... but they maintain the city very well.... and its a decent to good school system... and the School system just got a new Superintendent and new principal at the High school ... so well see how things workout!

I work in education as an Assistant Superintendent in Northern Illinois.

I currently work for a home builder as an assistant superintendent, so I'm investing part time currently.

When architects change the drawings and I don't have time to get pricing from my sub I have my superintendent sign daily slips that track the time and material.
