[QUOTE="professional, post: 16454, member: 1381"] My concern is that quoting the regs should not be seen as a substitute for logical reasoning. Too many people rely on the on-site guide etc. without any real understanding of the principles underpinning the design criteria. I fully appreciate that the additional circuit will originate from within the ebz but as you would not be exporting the earth I cannot see the logic of automatically requiring installation/upgrading of the bonding which will be no discernible advantage to the work being carried out. I feel that alot of work that we do is more for the benefit of sparks who follow us than the customer directly - this is fine in a perfect world where we all work to the same standards, but when you are pricing against people who couldn`t really care less, will be signing for nothing (policing of Part P? err - what policing), you can only walk away from so many jobs before your business becomes unviable. In no way do I condone unsafe work - but until we DO all price and install to the same standards (and under the same degree of effective regulation) the pressures will always be there. [/QUOTE]
