<DIV>Sounds a fair suggestion - however we have been trying to avoid getting
caught up in all the CDM regulations and everything that comes along with
it. I have always claimed that the bellhanging trade is closer to
mechanical engineering trade than it is to the construction trade. So far,
eveyone seems happy with that, and it has saved us a heck of a lot of time &
pointless paperwork. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Starting to oversee projects undertaken by the construction trade, would
take up a hell of a lot of time, which we frankly (judging from previous
experiences), wouldn't get paid for!</DIV>
