Tradespeople being fined for litter found in bins with their name on it

Why pricing jobs is getting harder – hidden costs, supplier markups & sourcing materials

The struggles of aging on the tools – aches, long hours & the reality of physical work

Builders & project delays – why jobs never finish on time and who’s really to blame

The most common work excuses – from ‘bad backs’ to ‘Covid…again’
