Interesting, in Australia it’s always because if you don’t go over your budget, you won’t get as much the next year, which means you can’t plan for things to get funded. So we purposely spend all of it and then some, plus run jobs over the EOFY (July-June) so we get enough for the next year. If a job is most likely to finish in April, it suddenly isn’t until October.
• It was looked at how often a company stays within the initially allocated budget
• How often flaws are discovered
• Whether its labour rights are satisfactory
That certainly happens here in Germany as well.
Not sure if it‘s the case in construction as well, but I heard of it happening in mutliple different sectors before

Wouldn’t it then be better if;
• It was looked at how often a company stays within the initially allocated budget
• How often flaws are discovered
• Whether its labour rights are satisfactory
to decide to which company to allocate?
