Well, you certainly wouldn't hire a contractor if you knew better, would you? That would be pointless. The whole reason for hiring a contractor, instead of hiring the same laborers the contractor will go on to hire on you behalf anyway, is because the contractor brings the expertise you lack. If you can't trust them to know better than you, why bother? It just becomes an unnecessary expense and a waste of another person's time.
In practice what you’re suggesting is that you’ll let your home builder run over time and over budget. Intervention on your behalf would be an unnecessary expense and a waste of the builders time. They know better and that would be pointless.
Your position is employers are building the best house with the biggest moat to attract the entire world, with an assumed endless time and budget, and there are no bounds to be set with employees.
> you’re suggesting is that you’ll let your home builder run over time and over budget.
If you thought your home builder was going to run over time and budget, you wouldn't hire him in the first place. Those who can't find the necessary trust don't build homes. There are plenty of used homes out there to buy.
Worsens what position?
