Deffs not mad , I got mates who did 4 years of uni running 300-400mjllion dollar sites and the laborer earns more. That's is not a sustainable business model

I think the wages will tumble the pipeline of work is tiny so you will have way more workers than projects so people will bid lower for contracts profit margins get squeezed from top to bottom gold coast is a good example - not a single crane in the sky.

I tend to agree with al here... it happened with chef's over the years. if people are willing to work for less the wages will all eventually crumble. The union's think that industrial action will save them, but in reality it's just a temporary solution and will eventually head the push for more and more sites to use non unionised builders.

Strikes cant last if the strikers aren't getting paid anyway, and people like grollo (who has on many occasions used non union builders) know this. he will just wait. afterall he can afford to lose as much money as it takes during the strike, whereas the builders can not.

You'd be amazed how people will change their moral stance on things like strikes or doing jobs that they feel are beneath them when we tell them they have 31 days before we foreclose on their house.

people like accountants etc that eat at successful restaurants regularly and see the owners strutting around eating, drinking having a good time etc get very misled about the hospitality industry.

They think that their office jobs are "long hours" and "tiring" that owning a restaurant will be an awesome lifestyle change, and it is, but only by the 1940's definition of awesome. :rofl:

In reality they spend their life savings on a poorly thought out restaurant, spend the next 3 years doing 100 hour weeks and stressing like they have never stressed before, and then losing everything when the place closes down.

end of the day, it's a VERY small margin of new restaurants that even survive, let alone do well.

Hospitality in Melbourne is the pure definition of an over saturated market. If you find a new niche and exploit it at the right moment, it IS possible to make serious money, but it's HARD work and very unlikely.

I know Ash probably doens't want to read this but unfortunatley it's how it is.

Ash, if you need any advice on this, you have my number

Bovis Lend Lease (I'm working on an LL site) held out for about a week, then they caved.

Grocon held on a bit longer but they gave in as well

exactly... it's just not possible unless you are managing to have money come in while you are striking...

also we are talking about people that run like little girls at the first sign of a few drops of rain... how much resolve can they really have? :P

You seem to be misunderstanding...

The builders caved, the CFMEU won the fight against Bovis, and Grocon backflipped accepting the talks that they turned down a few weeks earlier because they didn't think the strike would last.

I'll happily work in the rain, if it's safe to do so, but our EBA says we don't have to, so we don't. Morons take that as being soft.

get home at 5am, neighbour cuts grass at 7am....

my neighbour does shit like this as well 6:30am sunday decides its time to start installing sleepers with circular saws and a massive f**k of bolt hammer(god know why he needs it) I had enough last time and went out side and told him i'll be calling the council if it continues.

i dont mind if its kids playing in the back yard n shit - they're kids. but when your a f**king adult. next time my draw full of fireworks will be aimed at his house.

You've not lived till you've had Ash's Wang burger.

or is it you won't live after having the Wang burger.

meh

haha yeah cooking for 100 people on the DECA "BBQ" isn't the easiest thing in the world

Nice! What's the plan or can't reveal much at this stage?

As for tradies I rkn they are in a massive pay bubble cannot see long term sustainability of the wages, more so commercial sites

All will be revealed shortly.

Still a bit of legal to finish off - it's a good thing, a lot of homework has been done.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
