You'll need to read a set of plans and do pretty decent math.

You should do the math. 

don't keep a staff. there's a general contractor in our market that has 400 million annual revenue and 41 employees. 10 million per employee. do the math. that's columbus ohio. construction management is the key. get to know the subs, process, build clients, focus on what actually get's business not hiring when you are small.
