With no apprenticeships what would we expect ?
I think qualified inspectors will fear for their lives.
That is exactly why everything is falling apart, as it's all done on the fly.
Do the job, get paid (cash only) and then disappear.
That is all that we have my friend. Hope.

Team lurking around here take on a job, you must pay (in cash) half to enable purchase of materials, they disappear....
No work done and sizeable amount of money disappears.

Never pay before the job is done. Before the hand-over draw up checklist and any mistakes to be corrected prior to payment.
Years ago we followed the 50% upfront payment system, but no more as it is too risky.

Personally never paid up front for work to be done, however when people arrived wishing for fancy computer builds with sons business I requested half up front, client suddenly did not require such large personalized computer!
People have been caught mainly in building trade, having paving put into gardens was the main scam.
Oh yes, that's the way to do it. If they don't have the materials, or the tools then it is a no, no.
I wonder if the PC client would have paid, but then again I think that we both know the answer.
Yes, the building trade has gone for a loop as even "professional" paving companies hire mamparras to do the work. Then they get many call backs and they moan.
