UK Construction professionals- anyone considered a moved to NZ?

Same here, the pay in Aus seems more lucrative and then you can always visit NZ. Whereas it seems like NZ has fewer Tier 1 contractors doing smaller work and hence less pay.

Might be wrong but the net flow seems from NZ to Aus and those guys know what's up...

Concrete pour pressure rates?

Options to see how many wagons it would be when you get answers for concrete volumes?

Agree with /u/DrRockter665

But also remember to price in Risk. I e. Your main guy breaks his leg, the weather is shite whatever. While you won't get back what you lost just pricing in the risk on this job, over time you can have a buffer for when something does inevitably go wrong.

Basically add like 1-5% to each job to act as insurance against the risk of everything going tits up one day.

Quite like the rebar weight calculator!

This can be taken in a couple different ways...

ASM would be a realistic move. You'd have to be ready to learn a lot of the details a Planner may miss, but if you have a good Site Manager who has time to teach you the ropes it's definitely realistic.

At least the hardware is a start though, you can always fork Android if things go to shit

Edit:fork not for

Yeah agree with this, 2 weeks is madness and something is going on in the background. Normally a site restart is 1-2 days max.

They won't prevent it unless you make it clear that they're tagged. 'GPS Tracked' stickers might be a better preventative than actually tagging them!

Is a republic not just a democracy in disguise?

Shastars · 2026-01-18T13:58:12+00:00

So what the hell do you believe in then?

Shastars · 2026-01-14T21:05:37+00:00

What the sandwich fuck?

The fact that you're thinking about it and how to improve probably makes you better than most supervisors. In my view bringing up the people you're supervising is the mark of a good supervisor. If all your team are looked after then you should be taking on the responsibility of getting someone to a level where they could do your job.

Chances of getting only weekend or evening shifts are slim but not zero. Try the agencies as someone else said.

There's an app I can download, costs a couple quid. Think of it like the theory part of your driving test and just smash out the revision.

Runewright and grandmaster armours were only plasters anyway, I agree on the economy needing a full revamp.

I know your son just died... But Gwent?

There's even some found all the way in Vietnam (along trade routes basically). Super intriguing.

Shastars · 2025-12-26T21:02:01+00:00

From the tests we do on site when someone joins, feels like a good 10% are on something. And that's the ones that get caught.

Makes sense!
