Guest anguscanplay Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 We`ve recently started doing takeovers which in my opinion is a bad idea ............ whys do you think that Mr. D ?
Monty Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Take overs are a good form of income as long as you do a good inspection before you take on and advise cutomer of any works required to bring up to the standard that you would be happy to look after will have to be carried out (by your selves )pryor to take over .But things are getting harder with all the new gradings and making sure the existing detectors / contacts /loadings are all up to standards . www.AllanMoncrieffAlarms.com
djandysp Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 whys do you think that Mr. D ? Reason I say that is because although on a takeover you can check detectors, control equipment, sounders voltages etc but you dont know where the cables run or how many joints are in it, also its ok if I get called out to a panel at 3 in the morning as ive worked on most panels but what happens when a junior engineer has to go whos only ever used 1 panel. You could say they should be better trained but how many companies offer training on every panel there is? If an alarms been put in by a reputable compant then fair enough all should be well but if not I just think its a bad idea lol.
