esp-protocol Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 totay agree with you 7 years now and money has got better but you look at the prices on the jobs you do for compannies it is a pittence to that we should all put our prices up and force ther hand. if they can charge FROM
SUBS Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 i understand it takes time and hard work and not shyto do it but when you see how bad some companies are it makes u think i have just done all your work because they cant organise or communicate with clients leaving me to wonder if i gave that kind of service i would not be working but these large companies get away with it and charge a fortune but small companies cant compete with them.i heard adt and tyco are in bad way due to the economic crisis in america couldnt have happened to 2 better buly boy companies hope it gets worse and for all those other companies that hit you with 90 days plus retention you also deserve to go to the wall since thats wot you do with this ridiculos payment terms Now there you do have a point, but only cos so many people start subcontracting when they have no experience of running a business and think its an easy life. No one in his right mind, running any sort of business, would accept or carry out work without agreeing a price and payment terms first, and knowing how much they need to charge in order to make it worthwhile. Yet I hear of subbies doing it all the time, especially when it comes to the cost of running a vehicle.

If ADT are in a bad way, I am sure it will probably be there own doing and not their parent company tyco.
TREBORKID Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 Everyone wants more money.... it's never enough is it?? And I agree... a job is generally only as good as the engineer who does it. We've got a couple of very good subbies who never let us down, or our clients... and they charge big money and i'm happy(ish !) to pay it because I know I will never get any comebacks. But I think you're being a little too idealistic.... Subbies generally turn up to work with a tool bag, materials are dellivered, they get told what to do, and go home (optimistically) at 4.00 pm. They don't necessarily spend a week of their own time (and money) visiting a job two or three times, preparing a detailed specification, a quotation, amend it all two or three times... and then wait a month or so for a decision.... I may be generalising a bit but you get the idea.... My firm could not charge
