I love these super over inflated construction costs. if an average carpenter were allowed these jobs at an average wage of say $30 per hour, the job would cost half of that. But insurance costs. liability insurance, wcb and consutation fees plus estimate fees, permits, and assorted ways to inflate the price etc. make it so exhorbitant! What a joke it has become.

With SNC-Lavalin being in the headlines for all the wrong reasons it would seem that they would fit Prince George like a glove. They will fit in perfectly with the nudge-nudge wink-wink politics and back room deals that go on around this town. Choice of the new office location a coincidence?

I thought they already had an office off of Victoria near Cimo’s?

Price includes a year’s supply of plain brown envelopes, so all in all an excellent deal ;-/

Isn’t one of their colleagues locked up in a Mexican prison?

Welcome to Prince George! Be sure to bring your own two way mirrors and smoke generating machines.
