Showster Twincharged June 5, 2015 Share June 5, 2015 What I have heard from some contractors is that the foreign workers quota is giving many companies a huge headache in terms of manpower. In the past, when I ordered something from some supplier, they could always deliver. Now gotta pick up most of the stuff myself due to lack of manpower. Could it be the case for some of these issues with these builders? ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showster Twincharged June 9, 2015 Share June 9, 2015 Honestly I do wonder if it's more cost effective to build quickly with numerous defects and to set up a team to rectify it over time with lots of negative press, or to build precisely and minimise defects so less of follow up issues and bad press / advertisements, which will manifest in good reviews and resale prices / confidence over time. Maybe Toronto does not have professional grumblers and complainers like we do. I admit I can complain pretty well if I choose to do so, so not really pointing fingers at anyone.

Then again, these days, everybody on focused on short term, maybe the smartie pants also jump ship to another company liao...the current fella clearing his shit literally.
