Because they stay focussed. Take the architect/house programme on the TV a while back where these Germans deliver a complete system built house (can't remember the name of the programme or the house company). They had every detail of this construction down to the millimeter. The components were built in a leading edge factory in Germany and everything was tested before shipping. The German workmen focussed totally on the task. Every piece was shipped over in huge lorries and it all fitted precisely into place. There was minimal waste of materials and it went in exactly on time. It was very impressive.
Imagine if a British firm tried to do the same thing, using British builders ! They would subcontract to different firms, resulting in parts which didn't fit together on site because one firms idea of 101mm is somehow different to anothers ! Some of the material would arrive late because of cash flow problems, technical difficulties or myriad other excuses. The workmen putting it together would be a loose mob of subcontractors, more interested in what's on Sky tonight than getting the job done. Or am I being cynical ?It's my opinion and I'm entitled to it. www.areyoupopular.mobiComment
