Right oh guys, lets get back on track here.
Today I spoke with Glen from Q-Build. He feels they have done nothing wrong and all their role was ... was to get the quotes and issue the job. They didn't write the job spec etc. They were simply relaying Queensland Health's request.
Now, who is suitably knowledgeable or qualified to set the spec and determine the pruning works at Queensland Health? Well, the office supervisor for the place of course. So premise supervisor tells Q-Build that they want the trees pruned off the roof and made shorter (at least 2m shorter) to make them safer.
So we follow the string of errors to the quote stage and it is here that no-one tells anyone what's going on is wrong either. In fact Glen from Q-Build told me the
Brisbane Tree Services did the job, and their Level 3 arborist ought to know and the arborist re-inspected the job and is happy with what he did.
So, Q-Build pass the buck fully onto the tree company and wipe their hands of it. Glen got quite
erky, reckons I should mind my own business and keep my nose out of theirs. LOL
That's OK, this is going to the local councillor for the area as typical buck passing govt BS and ArborAge and any other place I can get it published as a display of ignorance to tree care.
So, I rang Brisbane Tree Services. The owner doesn't have a copy of AS4373 and the Level 3 arborist is from Toowoomba ex council and has done a bit of this lopping work. The picture below is the tree services own yard and it's the current arborist who pruned their trees!
What started as bit of a hostile phone call with Yvonne ended up OK in the end with her being aware that their arborist is not working to AS4373 but she does the quotes.
So nowhere along this line of events is their a diligent person saying, "hey, this isn't right and here's what you need to do."
What have you got the whole length of this?
Well you tell me, I already know. All I hear is excuses and BS buck passing. And when you ask questions about things around here the govt is quick to label you some nosey trouble maker.
So, there it is in a nut shell. Where's responsibility? Where's accountability? Where's ya stinking BS standards?
The pictures below are taking from the road of Brisbane Tree Services premises.
