Construction founders: how much of your time gets eaten by insurance and compliance?

Heyo so I've been running a construction management company for 4 years now and lately I’ve been wondering if I’m just done with it.

The money is good and we have work, which honestly makes the whole thing harder to judge. But the stupid little problems are starting to get to me more than the actual construction.

Last month we had a sub show up with an expired COI and I didn’t find out until the owner asked for updated insurance docs. Another job got held up because nobody could agree on whether a subcontractor had the right coverage for what they were actually doing. Then there’s payroll classifications, certificates, renewals, chasing vendors for paperwork, and getting some random EOD urgent request when I’m already dealing with an actual jobsite problem.

Meanwhile I’m still dealing with the normal stuff. Guys not showing up, schedules slipping, change orders, pissed off clients, material delays.

Four years ago I liked being the person who could fix everything. Now every new problem just feels like like its another weight on my shougelders.

so for other founders and entrepreneurs, how did you figure out if you were actually done or just completely burnt out? I'm probably in the middle ground but idk.
