Found On Yesterdays Job.....

[kme]

If I see something iffy with a job, I tend to mention to the customer that I will "Have to make a note of it" on my certificate.

So yesterday, I find this - newly done:



Now it gets interesting.

The builder has recently qualified as a sparky (according to the customer)

He is joining the NICEIC; and had the assessor out to this job.............

( I`d expect to get strung up by a testicle if I showed work like this to our AE)

Is it me..........................................??/

Ffs what a joke mate. That's proper poo

I think the builder is talking out of his ass. There must be a gland shortage in your area.

Are those 4 cables SWA? If so why so many?

 

[Zeespark]

The builder is talking BS mate, and it would only be for Part P that He is getting assessed, and it looks like this is out of PP scope? If I was to be personally installing a 3 Phase board, I would have at least the top shrouded in 100x100mm trunking to allow for more cables to be installed in the future.

That is utter *****!

 

[ProDave]

But what about the CUSTOMER?

What customer would actually accept that standard of "work" and actually PAY for it?  I certainly would not.

It looks obvious to us, but to a customer they probably haven't got a clue.

 

[Sidewinder]

Almost any commercial or industrial customer in my experience as they think that the spark is doing it right  and they are not responsible, and as long as it is done cheap, they don't care.

They believe that the spark is responsible for everything and if it goes wrong they are not guilty and the spark is guilty of everything.

I am gobsmacked!! I can not comment any further!!

Just rub some of those singles in that 20mm hole, then come assesment he'll get a real shock.
