gotta agree with that comment, the development i'm currently running we've got 3 polish groundworkers and they are bloody good and not scared of graftting!
but be careful as you can get some real cowboys.
I know there where a few firms adverising polish working in construction news awhile ago apart from that try southampton as they all seem to frequent there

can't comment on domestic, but commercial stuff has been busy since summer, all of it is industrial units. ugly as f*ck tin sheds springing up all over the place , but can they sell them?
if you googl "maybrook retail park" my works did groundworks sub contract here for carillions, 9 months work, finshed sept 06, and still no takers for these units. just done 12 smaller units in ashford, good location, retail park near to town...wait and see eh?

delays in contracts being passed, suggests tightening of purse strings, doesnt help when you keep getting asked for revised quotes... and then at the last minute it all falls through. Loads of small jobs keeping me on the surface, but it could be worse... :p
