People and craft
Craft supply and labor strategy: will the people be there?
A craft supply review tests the histogram the schedule depends on against the regional labor market, trade by trade: who is available, who else is hiring them, what they cost, and what it takes to keep them.
Craft Market and Labor Strategy Study
For a specific site and schedule: available craft by trade within commuting and per-diem radius, competing projects and their peaks, union and open-shop options, wage and per-diem pressure, travelers and camp implications, and the recruiting and retention plan the contractor's histogram silently assumes.
Scope, timing, field involvement, deliverables, confidentiality, and fee are confirmed in writing before work begins.

Frequently asked questions
How is craft supply measured?
By trade, against the regional labor market: the histogram the schedule assumes, the workers available within commuting and per-diem radius, the competing projects drawing on the same trades in the same window, wage and per-diem pressure, and the recruiting and retention effort the plan silently depends on. The result is a written view of whether the peak the histogram shows exists, and what it will take to reach it.
Does Torvane supply or employ craft?
No. Torvane assesses and advises. It does not supply labor, employ craft, run recruiting, or provide legal opinions. Testimony is limited to factual findings and professional opinion on construction matters.
