Hear you there Appy,
You look at things like New Houses, it is so cut-throat, down here, that we can't even compete, one guy I know (a sparky), charges himself out at NZ$22 per hour, he's a sole trader, too!, he works in quantity, not quality.
I went in to fix up one of the jobs that he done, later on, it was a shocker, not a single Pin Clip in the house, the smallest holes were drilled, to allow passage of (his)
cables, only.
It was a nightmare, to say the least.
And I was audited for the job, seems, I put the last COC in for that house. [Linked Image]
