With respect Peter, if you enter a building site, with the permission of the contractor, you are a visitor, whoever you are. Even the architect and the client (the "Employer") are visitors and require the contractor's permission to enter. Naturally it is extremely rare for such permission to be refused!
Visitors including clients and consultants are loaned hard hats by the contractor and give them back before they leave, it is not cheeky and is the norm. Most professionals will of course have their own hats and boots anyway.
So are you suggesting that units submit their tenders on a scrap of paper with a single figure written on it? I'm beginning to think that a lot could be learned from looking at the contruction industry process!
