Building collapse, page-18

“The builder, a large Qld company, told me off record, that they lost $50,000 because it was fixed price”

.....and you’ve just put it on record

they lost $50k, that’s their fault isn’t it? Heaps of businesses provide quotes, many for far more $’s than a house, what’s so special about building companies that we feel like they’re the ones that should be bailed out?

most of them couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery. they take on more work than they can handle. there’s no difference in the processes between them and a manufacturing plant, say a furniture or window manufacturer.
