Get to know your local integrator<\/h2>\n

When people ask me what I do for a living, I get tongue-tied because this is an industry that’s three industries in a trenchcoat. Very few people outside the industry know what we do, including trades we work alongside.<\/p>\n

So … what do you do?<\/h3>\n

I am unaffiliated with this group, but they did make a great video introducing outsiders to integration.<\/p>\n
