If you want to continue working for them I don't see you have a lot of choice.

Surely that's their cock up if they didn't check you were constructionline before getting you to do the job, it should be no reason to use it as an excuse to not pay you for what you've done

That's not an excuse. If they try pulling it on me they will quickly be relieved of equipment until bill is paid in full.

If you have an order you have an order!! We can’t pay unless you are on a scheme is no legal way to avoid payment unless it was a condition of the order.

I'll let Giles confirm, but I guess the Surveyor has said he would like to keep giving him the work, but it is those people at head office, they will only approve invoices if you are Safecontractor approved, so I can't give you any more work unless you are. Not you've done the work now we won't pay you.

To be clear they don’t owe me anything but I’ve 3 jobs priced that surveyor has accepted and wants us to do but can’t issue an order till we’re on the new system but can’t get on the new system till we are pre approved Constructionline etc. The other jobs they paid through the old system we were on.

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
"good luck finding a new contractor who'll do as good a job as we will ..... my track record speaks for itself and i do not need some pissy piece of paperwork from some bunch of muppets who've never seen what we are capable of to qualify our abilities to perform ... we have plenty of other perfectly satisfied customers to service"
if you can afford it --- f**k 'em

I think most big firm head office people don't actually care about their subcontractors or even how good the job is. Complying with the company policy keeps their nose clean and doesn't rock the boat so that is what they do. You have to be very lucky or very special to have a policy specially altered for you.

problem with all of this crap is, it's dreamt up by a bunch of incapable ****wits who are unable to be productive themselves and sold to even more morons, who're equally inept, to arbitrarily impose on people who can actually do the job. The more of them that comply with these, what are ultimately sanctions imposed, to allow them to work, doing a job they are more than capable of doing, the more it will proliferate. Non co-operation in this money making, farcical bollox would soon see it die off ..... or those imposing it would have to actually DO something themselves and we'd end up with some proper old fashioned contractors, instead of the current parasitic bunch of subbie wranglers, creating God knows how many tiers of extra costs on any given job.

If you look at the standard of work turned out by a lot of big companies out shows this. A lot of the time it's not major things but often just finishing touches which have been missed or done half arsed mainly due to lack of care or the fact that we are breeding a workforce which is unable to think for itself

Exactly this,
like saying I’m a billionaire doesn’t make it happen over night. Hoping to tie up the work in our area for the forseable future and some short term pain in paperwork will pay off hopefully

Trouble with these schemes, once they`ve got you on board, or the number of new applicants falls of, they bring an other tier or new requirement to keep their £££`s rolling in, with no benefit to you or the finished job.
All in all a classic example of a non job

Might want to tag on some extra fees on the pricing to go towards cost of the scheme

Glad I don’t need to deal with this crap anymore! Jobs for the sakes of jobs! Angers me that most companies these days have more office staff than boots on the ground!

I've tried to get direcr in with a big contractor today. I did a job couple of years ago for gut who now a contracts manager. The manager on site today said you will have to comply with all our health and safety. I assumed it would be a case of bunging some consultant 500 quid and you're in, is that not the case?!
Meanwhile this job strict on all the usual s**t. Not to bothered when their toilet tanks were overflowing yesterday and the truck wasn't coming till this morning. Funny the first aid ladies only came today. She said where I was working was a bit dark I said that's good can I blame that when my work is all on the piss cause I couldn't see a level.
