Whow / how do you keep the site so 'clear' of everything?

[TonyT]

Cause you only take photos of when you finish sweeping up!

 

no seriously good result, provide bins, skip, designated dumping areas and keep the site clear, my mate is pulling his hair out on a job cause of that much rubbish on the floor making it difficult to use telelift.

he didn’t make the mess, but ends up doing it

Probably because we are doing everything ourselves 

I just allow half an hour to get all the tools back in the van and have sweep up

Just about managed to keep my t shirt, periodically lost my sanity, lost my faith  in the construction industry and the training capability of the CITB ….oh and tens of thousands of pounds. More invented jobs than the ecology scam. Biggest pile of ………. Oops did I ever mention that just reading their name winds me up ?

It’s crazy 

Safety tags on our 300 mil high hop ups 

No sweeping allowed Vacuuming out after plastering 

No extension leads 27 staff in the site office Most wanting around with iPads looking for breaches 

Site meeting every morning 8-9 

The list goes on

‘Can you add the steel fixers invoice amount to yours so that you can pay him then we will pay you because he doesn’t pass our compliance checks. ‘ 15 people planning the Xmas party for 3 days, monthly re painting of the site hoarding etc. I did 2 sites for them and saw 3 subbies go bust. Things went downhill for me after I sent them a clean up notice after their assistant site manager installed a TV in the canteen leaving the mess all over the floor. This was after they stopped me working because my brick stacks weren’t plumb. Never ever again.
