We’ve even sent the cleaning staff over to the Airbnb  they can’t/didn’t do as good a job as they do @ the hotel  all sorts of reasons logistical & others.

Most small contractors willing to trade dollars for volume just won't be able to handle a big uptick in quantity of work.HOWEVER... the trouble spot that OP was presenting was that he was having a hard time getting a contractor of adequate size and capability to handle a LOT of work.The trouble here is that a good builder/developer/renovator of 'real' size and capabilities (Office, real management, infrastructure to handle several ground crews, maybe an architect/designer on board full time, someone to handle material logistics, tools, etc.) is going to see the volume-for-lower-cost proposal as being weak... very, very weak.Let me go through the value-add bullet points and tell you why a large, capable firm (not a single dude... a firm) isn't going to care, and will be getting back in their truck as soon as an investor tells them "Give me a good rate and I'll give you 10 hours a second"- The contractor legitimately gets more workIf I am large enough to handle that much work, I have my own means for getting that work that are in place and working for me.

How did it turn out for you logistically?
