But what about you, Jeff? What would you say are the unique challenges for working on tribal land from the builder's perspective?

Jeff EhretGUEST
Well, it first starts with an understanding, as Glenn mentioned, that tribes are their own sovereign nations.

Jeff EhretGUEST
In Arizona, where we are, there's 22 different federally recognized tribes in all shapes and sizes, right? You have the Navajo Nation, which is huge population, huge land mass, and then you go down to very small tribes with maybe a very small reservation and maybe just a few hundred members.

Jeff EhretGUEST
So that alone sets up different constraints and different issues you have to deal with.

Jeff EhretGUEST
As you well know, being around Phoenix, we have four tribes that have a lot of commercial development in the Phoenix area, and they're blessed to that extent.

Jeff EhretGUEST
And then you go elsewhere in Arizona where it's extremely rural, no one's there, so that poses, again, its own logistical constraints.

Jeff EhretGUEST
As Glenn mentioned, each tribe has the right and the ability to come up with whatever building codes they want to adapt, whatever they wanna do for their plan check permitting process, inspection process.

Okay, Jeff, what kind of challenges does that create for you as the building contractor?
