'Settl...Oh sorry guys, you are joking surely? <br />'Settlement' that renders buildings unlivable is so not standard. And residential buildings in Oman are not built to high quality standards. Not by western standards anyway. Windows that don't seal the dust or rain out; mulitple cracks floor to ceiling, walls that leak water from poor plumbing work and lights that blow every 2 weeks? My husband works in the construction industry and beats his head against the wall every day with these problems. Underqualified trades people, cheap end greedy owners trying to inflate profits and construction company staff that simply will not, do not or cannot read plans or instructions. Bar Al Jissa is typical of the problems in construction in the middle east. Until owners pull their heads out of the sand and contractors bring in REAL tradespeople, it will never change.Darcee 220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283845125208268798.post-76416224633840446982010-04-05T20:30:00.305+04:002010-04-05T20:30:00.305+04:00I would have thought Turners / WS Atkins should h...I would have thought Turners / WS Atkins should have spotted the probability of subsidence in the crumbling rock - they had a major slippage at Al Husn a couple of years ago - and built in extra foundation support into the pre-buildThats What I Saidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799337685584108553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283845125208268798.post-49985433755430933532010-04-05T17:19:19.526+04:002010-04-05T17:19:19.526+04:00Hi

The main reason for the sloppy work is becoz of these there concerns.. not the one whom you have quoted.. <br /><br />just a clue for you.. they are all from the GREAT UK & USA!!!rajeshnoreply@blogger.com
