The situation
Nobody hired us. Tellus chose Habitat for Humanity as the firm's community partner and gave it material, bid work, labor and consulting for nine years.
The chapters built homes on donated material and donated skilled labor, each with a yard, a sorting bench and a plan set that every donation had to fit.
A donor who asked what the chapter could use that season, not one who kept delivering what the firm could spare.
Treat material as a stock and labor, bid work and consulting as flows. When a chapter kept declining material, stop offering it there and give the flows instead.
The relationship held from February 2007 to November 2016 across Santa Barbara, Orange County and Los Angeles, and the rule it produced is the reusable part.
