Should you drop your standards to get more m2 out even if the lesser standard is good enough. I'm a perfectionist so i find this hard, what do you guys think? Is it a bad move? Should i drop them and keep everyone happy or do i keep them high but risk making enemies by doing so?

Always do your work to the highest standard you can achieve, it'll work better for you long term.

yes and a poor job might look nice and shiny at the start but quickly deteriorate. But this is a commercial Doug, i wont be remembered for anything, my masterpiece will stick out like a sore thumb against what I've seen so far on job.
