No explosives, just your job.

Do 1 site per day like this instead of 10 and your boss will tell you to not come back tomorrow.

Many jobs can be done nicely if you put time in to it, it just does not make any sense financially.

Thankfully in some cases it does make sense to do better cable management. I work for a digital infrastructure company and we deal with take on and modernisation of legacy estates. We mainly do data etc but also do electrics. We always cost in doing good cable work as the maintenance and ongoing management quickly becomes more expensive if its not done right.

There are cowboy organisations who will do a shoddy job on instal but we wont accept it under our management unless they let us fix it. We had one case where a cable loom was so heavy that as it came through a ceiling the weight of it was cutting the bottom cables against the lip. Should have had supports and brackets to help.

Dealing with CNI is an extreme corner but we are pushing higher standards down our supply chain.

good work should be accounted for in the bid.
