[QUOTE="jon small, post: 300832, member: 21342"] hi new to forum and enjoying reading the posts but on this one would like to query a part of Evans electrical's post : " NAPIT were , I'm afraid, misguided in creating a rival register , should shut it down and accept the existence of one almighty register which should contain[B] ALL[/B] scheme members , whether they are swallowed up by the big two or not ." Napit registered their domain several years ago with the intention of setting up one register ( the original) for members [B]all[/B] schemes and have been working to set up their site since and niceic / eca (who registered this year and announced their register [B]after[/B] Napit's) are the ones who wouldn't work with anyone else and set up a separate register because they are so bloody high and mighty and think they have the right to control a monopoly and dictate to [B]all[/B] electricians which will no doubt lead to an increase in fee's and number of hoops that sparks will have to jump through to belong - new courses, extra paperwork, extra inspections etc i am currently not with any of the schemes as have been recovering from back injuries and corrective surgery so have no axe to grind with any scheme but have been looking at all schemes pending my return to work as self employed and do think that the only thing nic have got going for them is the fact that their name is well known, as they are one of the most expensive and i have serious doubts about the whole QS system as have seen major abuse of this in the past on council contracts with no one bothering to check on the standard of work till someone is injured because[B] "we don't need to because the firm is niceic registered"[/B] but when i have explained the QS system means that work can be done by labourers and then supposedly tested and signed off by a QS (and in unscrupulous companies the testing can be at best highly selective and results made up in some cases ) they are stunned that such an easy to abuse system is being used by that most "known and trustworthy body!!".
