“The client can only have that desired trust if he has taken the time to check out the standing and reputation of the contractors he is considering”

operation of specialised equipment, in most cases, determine the quality of work that can be achieved. The maintenance of contract equipment, and the ability to quickly attend to repairs and breakdowns, influences the rate of progress through a contract. However willing and able the staff are, poorly maintained equipment leads to eventual downtime and ill feeling - especially when time is of essence. Making thorough investigation into the company’s equipment fleet and back-up resources is time well spent. “But,” says Gordon Gill, “how many contractors have staff that are passionate about sport, about what they are constructing and why? Most have someone in the office who has a good idea, but many employ machine operators, not construction specialists.” Gordon Jaaback points out that there
are many ways to achieve the desired result. “In sports pitch and golf course construction there are not the same expected procedures as laid down in
structural engineering. Ineffectual equipment does not reveal the shortcomings at the time of operation - the results come later. Short cuts taken by the contractor are seldom evident to the uninformed client and are generally not visible on the surface. What is out of sight is out of mind.”
“In the end, it all comes back to the effort the client makes in choosing the contractor. He can only have that desired trust if he has taken the time to check out the standing and reputation of the contractors he is considering.” Barry Pace agrees. “Check us out - it is so simple. All you have to do is ask! Good contractors will give you any number of references. Personally, I prefer my last job.” “Okay, not everyone has perfect jobs every time. We, collectively, as contractors don’t always have an easy ride. Try and understand all the factors - worst rainfall for twenty years, outdated specification, poor germination, client decides to slash the budget half way
