and while we're at it, can we put an end to consultants issuing tenders which ask for a price based on a trench plan (if you are lucky), with no detailed specification, or even just a letter just saying please quote for 30 trenches each 2m wide without even a location map, and say 'and the winning tenderer will be supplied with the DBA, geophysics and site investigation data'. How are people supposed to assess the correct professional price without even the basic background data. Lazy, lazy, lazy, and signals contempt for contractors. And they wonder why we don't like consultants.
Rant over, for the time being.
