Building the Education Revolution

Ok so I completed 16 schools in 16 months is no big deal but the real issue is did this program provide stimulus to those companys that needed it. In a word No. The big companies that “managed” the process did very well, the schools got buildings they cannot afford to staff or maintain, but the grass root subcontractors were screwed down on price, forced to carry out work below cost, messed around on variation payments etc etc. It seems strange that we are faced with a grim federal budget after the proliferation of BER spending.
