I’ve been on the committee, yikes what a character building experience that was, so now I’m barracking from the sidelines and even that’s painful enough. We have a moderately big block and there’s something to be said for having a regular crew attend so as not to reinvent the wheel every time they need attend but they are getting away with things big time in some case as the committee tend to call them to act not to quote and hence the bill comes in the door at full rates without any need to compete, and generally without after inspection to ensure the work quoted was actually even done. So they pay through the nose and are not held to account. Silly as that all is I just divide the costs by the lots and roll with it, as I could no longer bother fighting the issues or, heaven forbid, rejoining the committee.
