No I think we agree on the fact that they shouldn't undertake the work if they can't do it to a high standard. I hear exactly what your saying and I'm not trying to wind you up.
There are always going to be these idiots though that rip people off and work sub standard, some of them will inevitably have years and years of experience as well as some of them being young or inexperienced. It's the same in any job unfortunately.
I think that's the reason why professionals shouldn't drop their prices to compete. Yes you may get more work but you compromise yourself and your work too. Customers will (to their expense) discover that you get what you pay for. So you pay peanuts and you get monkeys.
I know the point isn't that you pick up the pieces afterwards either, I was just trying to find a positive. These people are taking your work by undercutting your quotes but in the end who is it that has the last laugh?
And I knew you wouldn't swear at me
