I run my own Systems integration company. When I'm crewing up for bigger projects I use the same group of contractors I've worked with my whole career. Most of the older lads are the guys who taught me the trade as I was coming up. People I've worked with in the past or people those people recommend.

When working on a $10m + projects I can't afford to take risks, so working with people I've worked with previously and know really well is just makes sense.

Working with people who all work in the same manner as I do, everyone knows their roles and work together well the pressure we can focus on delivering the project and managing the client. Why take the rest on unknowns how have to integrate to the group, could be a negative influence and cause issues with the client.

That's Wasta
