I think it's down to planning mostly, takes a long time to push through a new development on a green belt, they try to push brownfield sites but they not always profitable if you got soil contamination or existing building. We got 900 houses to be built right next door to us, local authority dismissed it so as the locals fighting it to be scrapped but there's one single bloke in the government who can overrule any decision and he given the go ahead. First house to be released in 2019 I think, doubt any local contractor will be involved in it
There's a site from us a few miles up the road like 40-50 houses in a plot, seen spreads from Chelmsford working there, it's beyond me how it's worth it for them to drive 100-120 miles a day to work. Must be money in it if they come that far or just to tie them over till the next one I'm not sure
Depends how desperate there are for work some lads will work For owt all I know Is the big firms pay peanuts and I'm not even talking £2m2 skim..been told b4 wens a builder has rung me or but so and so only pays this much I'm like I dnt care Im not working for that
Every spread I know is stacked out and most of them are shite...u knw there's loads about wen the s**t of the s**t are busy
That's y cant get my head around people just wanting to skim...skimming is so easy and boring its untrue
It's when you run for the big bucks. You have to be really clever on site nowadays . Book in over 1.5k for the week and they are all over your job. Office c**ts just don't get it, it's numbers only for them. Skills , abilities , time served, these things don't mean anything to them. If you earn that amount of £ on this site, next one the price s way cheaper and most of us are wondering why?
Exactly these c**ts will only let you earn so much, once your wages are set that's what your getting and you fight for there rest it's f**k**g boring, that's why these guys travel miles they are two wages in, thank f**k I don't do site work no more.
Think you right , tbh now I think it's kind of what they want,to not build to many so price's keep rising if they could sort 350,000 in 1954 I sure now the same amount could be built..it would be good for trade that's for sure if those kind of numbers were being hit.
Back in those days a lot of work carried out by pow's, the country can't cope with the speed now hence a lot of us foreigners here, and h&s don't help matters either.
As always
What firm is that?
No idea, just driven past it that's when I saw it, only remember that it said Chelmsford on a smallish van
Knw1 saying owt as there embarrassed to say wat m2 rate there getting..i reckon its owt between £1.80-£2.20
