Excessive site costs?

Ponzu · Jun 10, 2016 8:32 pm

Also, I'm so tired of your use of the term "battler". A battler typically can barely aford their mortgage, let alone an engineers advice. It's like engineers are helping "battlers" over come potential hazards... Hardly the case. Battlers are living week to week, pay check to pay check and can't afford a building consultant/inspector let alone an engineer.

You also need to get over yourself when it comes to what you think you can do for someone who can't afford an engineer.

Actually I feel pretty good assisting where I can and all are very appreciative ( by PMs) which is more than what you do

The sad thing is is that you haven't even realised for over a year that my status was a direct response to one of your posts where you referred me to your own status as evidence of your qualifications. Joke's on you buddy.

I can't beat PMs from people who don't know better. You're right, what was I thinking.

Of course I am, you just have a problem with comprehension.

There was a time where I called you out on one of you're posts where you contradicted yourself several times, at which point you advised me to look at your signature/status of your all encompassing qualifications to be making such nonsensical statements.

In response I quietly updated my sig/status to include a bunch of nonsense in your honour.

There's an old saying - "Nothing is more unreliable than unremunerated advice"

What that saying actually means in this context in 2016 is "an engineer's advice is only worth as much as his professional indemnity insurance claim limit"

Ive seen so much hokum on this forum pass as professional advice that I wouldn't trust somone from here with advice unless I could hold them liable.

Seriously no-one would trust your opinion if that's what you think and I've said it before you don't deserve to be here

That's the part of the post you take away?

Opinions are just that, not looking for people to trust them. They will take what they want from them, or not

I'm an auditor by trade, CPA qualification. I work in financial crime (AML/CTF), what I do, keeps you safe at night and you don't even know it.

I guess this was added in when you were correcting your text spelling mistakes, does you boss know you're moonlighting on the job.
Works at night on the H1 Forum giving advice and busting internet crime ...LOL..love the irony...Ponzu by name and Ponzi by nature

I do t give advice. I got bored of this last night, your quips are poor. I hope they give you the fuzzys. When I edit posts, there's always something to add/remove in hindsight, who cares?

"Designer,Engineer (Civil,Construction,Environmental and Energy),Builder,Concrete Contractor"

It's akin to someone claiming to be a Nurse, Doctor (heart surgeon, ENT specialist, Psychologist and Physiotherapist), chiropractor and massage therapist.

Some of the most accomplished engineers don't have this many specialties. If only you could see my inbox...

Im out. Good luck have fun. Off to slay some dragons.

When you say you're a builder/contractor and an engineer, so do you mean you've done your 4 year bachelor of engineering in say civil/structural and worked as an engineer, and then later on did the training to become a builder, or were you a builder first and then did your bachelor of engineering after?

StructuralBIMGuy · Jun 11, 2016 8:31 pm

I started on the tools doing the Diploma, Then did the degree in Applied Sc. (Const Mgt & Econs) & then finally the Degree in Engineering (Civil & Struct) all Qualifications completed while working, & still working with the tools to this day.There is a long line of battlers that were/are Engineers in our family my son is 5th generation Engineer ...Never question my ethics and why I choose to help people

1960sModernistHome · Jun 11, 2016 9:56 pm

I likewise started on the tools. I completed my apprenticeship as an electrician & telecommunications technician. Then did a Dip. Of project management, worked as an estimator & project manager for a few years, then was 2IC of a large national contracting company. Got sick of being on the contracting side of the industry & decided I wanted to move into design & consulting. Got a job with a consulting firm & did my BEng degree and various other qualifications and registrations since. Been there ever since. Studying while working full-time is hard!

You're in Perth area right? Did you go to Murdoch or Curtin Uni?

StructuralBIMGuy · Jun 11, 2016 10:29 pm

Why does it matter where I studied?
LOL..You'd do better to ask Ponzi where she studied Economic site cost modelling
