Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont

Guessing.

Think Bam may have underestimated the size and scale of the project, and put in a tender that may have been undervalued
(in hindsight ) just to win the contract?

It must have been an absolute minefield, with numerous things cropping up on a daily basis. Did anyone else think this project would be delivered on time? I certainly didn't.

Saying that BAM may pull out all he stops and deliver it on time. If they do, fair play to them.

I hope BAM did get shafted, they've done it to plenty in the past. Still owe me 90k twats.

A lot of principal contractors (like BAM) often get the blame when projects like this go tits up but is just as likely that one of the sub contractors have caused the delay. I deal with this sort of situation every week and it is a total pain in the arse as everyone blames everyone else!

As a side note Cheetham Hill nearly cost me my bloody job last year because of crap work and under scheduling down to them under pricing when the tender was put out.

The stadium expansion contract was won by the same company that built the stadium wasn't it? Makes sense.

"I am the Man with the invisible cam(era), I'm not really here!"

Please picture the scene.

A grown up Man(loon), running around East Manchester, with a camera in one hand, and a six foot ladder in the other arm. :-) It's safe to say I nearly caused an accident on Alan Turin Way. :-?

The leisure centre and car park across the road.

Glass is now going in.
