On the plus side if they give it to someone cheap who f*cks it.. I get more money to fix it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA91CK billet turbos and weathered engines dont mix Donating Members 1,346 Member For: 12y 7m 9d Gender: Male Location: Wollongong Posted 22/06/15 10:38 PM Share Posted 22/06/15 10:38 PM Tell you what panda. Probably the best thing you could have Said! It does come down to money with the gov (I work for them) but if you get a representative on the board that has half an idea of the job, then realising you're the real deal and not just a get in get it done kinda person may snag you the job. I have to deal with contractors nearly daily, and to be honest like 20% do work that I would call even 'satisfactory' No offence to contractors, it's just the industry putting so much stress on them to get work done quicker and cheaper I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I work we actually had a whole of company meeting where the outcome was we had to scale down our quality of work to remain competitive in the current market.I still like to think our quality and skill is far over most other places. But we don't win jobs with big fees because someone will do it cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
