Design notes for week 44/2023 from Tone on Tuesday | Architecture & Design
Firstly, tendering is a scourge on quality in the industry – lowest price usually wins, and invariably it is too low, and something has to give, inevitably quality. Subbies are pressured to lower their costs, and then pressured further to return to a job they lost money on, to repair defects. The end process is a s**tfight to get something approximating the intended finish. Or the builder folds.
