Your right of course, the best analogy I can give you that sums up your point is taking a cars body work falling apart. You can do a very quick jobs filling all the holes and damage, by doing a good paint job covers up the true quality of the car.
Hence the saying 'Painting over the cracks'?
In any new building, once in its finished state you have no visual idea of the quality of workmanship that has done on underneath the surface.
In a previous comment made by Lakeland who has an Electrical background he spoke of short cables connected using connector blocks. Bare wires exposed and no proper tests and inspections carried out. This is indefensible, if lakeland has seen this in only one property, it proves there is no proper procedures in place because if there were this could never happen.
What lakeland witnessed is a damning indictment on the Qatari Authorities.No I am not an Qualified Engineer, Qualified Project Manager but I am a Qualified Electrician (tradesman) who is hands on not sitting in an office, looking at Architect Plans, Gantt Charts (project time table), Sitting in Meetings etc.
But I have Supervised other Electricians and Managed Million Pound Electrical Projects and tradespersons CAN NOT hide bad workmanship on an ongoing project from Supervisors/Forman/Project Managers/Quantity Surveyors/Engineers if their doing their job.
One can only assume these people are NOT doing their jobs and it is them that are guilty of bad workmanship not as in one case, an Indian Teacher came from the Airport in Qatar to be given a job working as an Electrician.
Which is in total Contravention of the 'Regulations for the Installation of Electrical Wiring, Electrical Equipment and Air Conditioning Equipment' as issued by The Qatar General Electricity & Water Corporation “KAHRAMAA” Customer Services Department, State of Qatar, based on British Standards, which states in Section 03: Requirements for Safety, page 11.
"All electrical installations works, new and or additions shall only carried out by licensed electrical contractors, as authorised by the Qatar General Electricity & Water Corporation KAHRAMAA'.
There is corruption, neglect and criminal violations at the very top of the Qatar Authorities, working its way down, which should be the focus not from the bottom up.
One reason why you will not see this standard of workmanship in countries outside of the ME is as a deliberate Violation of of any such standards would bring about a criminal investigation and prosecution.
Some may protest this does not happen but the evidence is over whelming of witnessing criminal electrical wiring and unqualified people carrying out Electrical Installations.
This is dangerous, life threatening and there will be fires and deaths until the Qatar Authorities start adhering to their own regulations.
