RE: RE: The Good and the Bad

Agreed; head office or others who have not worked on constuction or mine sites have little idea about the problems that emerge and have to be solved on a daily basis. Head office papershufflers and politicians will never get the job done on time/on budget.

Having worked in contracting on civil and building construction I earned a healthy respect for onsite supervisors and a healthy concern about estimates done by quantity surveyors and others with little or no site experience.

As a former supervisor on a highway job once said to me;  "we make our mistakes in concrete, but engineers and estimators make their mistakes on paper."  I learned from experience how true that statement is.
