Main Frustrations for an Electrician on Site

[Mark Kimberley]

Hi Everyone

I am doing some research into Main Frustrations for an Electrician on Site and would love your help in giving me some examples:

Example No1

Plasterers filling back boxes with plaster and hiding the cables after first fix

 

[The Ghost]

Tools getting stolen, lost a battery charger a couple of weeks ago. Bad organisation then standing around waiting for someone to do their thing or waiting for materials you could have got yourself. Wrong order of work as someone does not know how to do a gannt chart.

 

[Strima]

Project managers who know everything. H&S Nazis who know nothing...

 

[Dillb]

Other people.

When someone's idea of running a job is to throw all the trades into a room at the same time and hope everyone gets along.

Hi Mark,

Might I enquire as to the purpose of this research?

As you can see, we're quite a tolerant bunch, only hating most people Knowing what your aim is with the research may give a better quality of answer.

Project Managers who THINK they know everything corrected that bit for you

Getting information and being given a generic spec.

Coming back to 2nd fix a kitchen only to discover that the entire layout and spec got changed between 1st fix and the kitchen being fitted!
