builders need to be regulated. right. there has to be proper quality control. true. stern and transparant laws are needed. absolutely right. all builders are bad... evil...etc. wrong. It is not fair to make them out to be a evil lot. there are bad eggs everywhere, all businesses. it is fashinable to criticise builders as it is easy to crtisize politicians. but you need to ask yourself, who selects them and who elects them.
