You out on a jobsite and yuh see reel chinee

[evo-STI-k]

BUT when you carefully examine the workmanship its TOP class,

all fair face block walls are TRUE straight and plumb, its done PROPERLY, and in a timely manner, its a FACT that No LOCAL contractor can match their work or level of craftsmanship and skill.

Sad but true.

less than a handful of local tradesmen can match their work, BUT they woudl take 4 times as long and would want 10 times the salary for the same work.

So aLL THOSE LOCAL CONTRACTORS WHO VEX- HARD LUCK.
EITHER RAISE YOUR STANDARDS OR SHUT UP!

So what you think patos was saying all along, I'm no fan of the man but bringing the Chinese was one of the best decisions he made. I have a cousin who is a tradesman and he so damn lazy and likes to overcharge and does the jobs halfway, he takes weeks to do what can be finished in a couple days. He reaches on the job past 9am and when 3 reach he leaving to go go pick up his wife who is a public servant but she never works an 8-415

[Maserati]

ouch

I'm all for local labour but if Trini's can't do the job or not doing the job up to the standards that are required..then it's pretty simple to see that the chinese workers are the better option.
Simple for the Trini contractors step up your game.

^^^ lol, knocked the cheriooooos right outta he mouth! lol!

[Oleander]

Man those chineese people are very interesting...
I've looked at them work on the buildings in POS and sometimes they make tasks look so cool... They make some of their own tools and use themselves in groups as anchors
They work fast and precise.

Cheap Not Good............. Good Thing Not Cheap

One person was killed he jumped out the window on the wrong side of the falling building......


27th Jun 2009

A 13-story apartment building under construction in Shanghai has toppled over almost intact, killing one worker.

Footage broadcast on state broadcaster CCTV shows the whole building lying on its side.

The building reportedly tipped over at the base, crumbling to the ground in one big piece.

It's believed the 28-year-old worker killed had gone into the building to get his tools and tried to jump out the window when the building fell.

What working and living conditions those Chinese under?

They getting paid above minimum wage?

When they get paid, what happens to their salary?

[horsepwrjunki]

agreed evo what erver de ass it is...lol... part of my job is measuring finished rooms u talkin bout 10mm variance is a bad wall... unlike locals where u could see the wall waving at u..

several of them i deal with directly and ive had engineers beyotch over 1 mm variance on drawings...

there cost cutting however leads them into problems,.. those who want them to do work they are a registered co.. contact them

how we supposed to know?

w/e issues if any they have they should take it up with their employers.

enough people in T&T don't have a means of income or good living conditions.

You need to know if you want to make a fair comparison between Chinese Contractors and Local contractors.

If one has to pay above minimum wage to cover their worker's costs, and another does not then that matters.

If one has to adhere to health and safety regulations, and one does not...then that matters.

[wagonrunner]

If one has to adhere to health and safety regulations, and one does not...then that matters.

why would any be exempt from this?

Why indeed.
But apparently Chinese contractors are exempt.
