The current economic situation has cost the global construction industry billions of dollars through halted, cancelled and re-scoped projects. For troubled projects, budgets are drastically reduced or cancelled entirely and sites all over the world remain dormant, where the build should be nearing completion. It is a modern tragedy that impacts on communities, prospective structures intended users, and companies operating at all levels of the construction sector. Constructors are pushed to breaking point to cut costs and reduce prices and this pressure is exerted throughout the supply chain. The highest quality cannot be achieved for the lowest price and the net result is deeply troubling: buildings that ought to be magnificent and wholly safe completed to a substandard level potentially leaving that structure exposed to horrifying levels of risk. The situation sounds perilous but it is certainly avoidable, a maxim frequently cited by the FM Sudafix Group is “if a job is worth doing, it is worth doing right,” and this is applicable to all endeavours. It is better to pool resources into the truly viable projects and then completing those buildings to the highest standards, this in turn will result in a more efficient structure returning the investment value in a swifter time, without the potential risk of litigation if hazards are not effectively managed by safety systems. Through the prudent deployment of resources and the selection of the right constructor and supply chain structures will simply be better, safer, and provide swifter remuneration of investment. There is nothing to gain in cutting corners and hoping nothing goes wrong. The FM Sudafix Group does not compromise on quality, and it freely admits that there is a cost for the highest performance items due to their higher cost of production. FM Sudafix electrical safety systems, be they earthing/grounding, lightning protection, cathodic protection or stray current management, are high performance and priced at the smallest margins that still protect the integrity of quality. It is the FM Sudafix Group’s high performance and quality services and products that have led to them being recognized as a safety seal of approval on any structure.
