The playing field is not even
I have to agree wholeheartedly with Mr Abisogun (). As a quantity surveyor working for a small/medium-sized contractor we regularly see large firms (listed on the FTSE 100) bidding for projects that are below the 拢1m mark.
In some cases, one firm in particular has won projects that we have tendered for and our company along with the other local building contractors have been denied access to a project that was ideally suited for small/medium sized contractors. I agree that competition is good. However, you get the feeling that the playing field is engineered against the smaller building contractors.
