Burnt once. Burnt twice. The third time, you go under ... 30 grand out of pocket.

That’s a bloody lot for a small business…

$500 of our own money before the jobs starts.

Do you ask for material money up front? 👇

Pay your bloody trades 😡

The trades doing the right thing are the ones who get burnt.

Then they don’t trust anyone after.

Don’t make us pay for someone else’s mess 😡

Another trade screws up and we’re the ones not getting paid…

What’s the worst thing a clients held your money over?

Another trade cooks the job and we cop the blame.

The client doesn’t care who stuffs it up.

Our name’s on it, so we’ve got to know who we’re bringing onto site.

What’s the worst job you’ve had to fix after another trade cooked it?

Builder does the whole job right … and still cops the blame.

End of the job. Client’s happy. You’re about to lock up.

Then … “Do you think I need a new roof?”

Not in the scope, but you quote it anyway.

Too expensive. Their mate knows a roofer.

Cladding’s on and fixed. Flashings are on. Fine … he’ll have to work around it.

He strips the roof … then cuts all the supporting battens.

Cladding left loose.

Guess who gets blamed? Not the roofer.

Of course the client and the trade both turn on the builder.

Make that make sense.

The government is only making the trade shortage worse and doesn’t care about the trades already in the industry.

Fast tracking apprentices to fix a shortage they helped create ... while the trades who finished their time and walked away get ignored completely.

Then there’s the mature age push. Robin Reffo put it best.

They’ve got their heads screwed on. But are they going to be on only $900 a week?

A bloke leaving a $1,700 office job isn’t taking that.

The government tips in $10k. Doesn’t even cover his tax.

We’re already running at a loss taking on an apprentice. That’s the rule of thumb.

So it comes out of our pockets. Again.
