Point.... IFA..... you tell me. Though I do think a Sea change is a-comin. where the rubber teeth are refitted with steel gnashers.
But honestly.. have you ever heard of an RAO being dealt with (I know of one case) ?
As to developers being more aware... thats not what I see at this end... and that is both as a contractor and as a countie.... where the developer does not understand the difference between a watching brief and an evaluation, between predetermination and desk based assesment...
BTW... if I was to advise a client of one company over another... you are looking at the possibility of being taken to court by either the client... if the contractor turns out to be mince..... OR by other contractors who could rightly claim unfair denial (see Wednesbury Ruling!!) Lists... are all unofficial.. and must state that there are other lists (even the good old yellow pages which are jsut as valid... The RAO, the BAJR list and the yellow pages are only that...lists of names.)
sound of more wall banging----[xx(]
