There was much talk about Dominicans not knowing construction, but it is not uncommon here in the states for someone to perpetuate knowledge of construction and have the crudentials stating that they do........Here in Philly, I see so called builders putting up dangerous block walls which can collapse and doing additions to homes with little knowledge, other than knowing how to sell themselves. So anywhere you go, just thead litely and be carefull....Ask to see jobs completed or working on at this time. Construction field is a hard cut-throat industry in itself. Like sharks smelling blood in the water. My father was a general contracter, whom I considered very honest, would tell me as an 11yr old child on his jobsite to kick stones, not too large into a concrete hole, while the inspector was not looking, to save money on material.......I know a Master Plumber who also is an electrical contracter, licensed, who must have bought his license or had someone take the test for him and he hires unlicensed , knowledgable workers to work for him.....
