To answer your question - No it doesn't - from first hand expereince.
We worked as a subcontractor for a small sized M&E contractor on the University of Birmingham - it was an absolute nightmare of a job.
No idea about programming, cost, mangement or anything!! To be honest I wish I'd have thought of that topic - would have been interesting.
I did orginally go for "collusion in the construction industry" but realised when it came to interviewing, who was going to tell the truth? lol, so had to change it.
Good thing is, I have an assistant working with me who has a degree in Mathmatical Statistics. Its ace when she does all my standard deviation etc. Top hole, as they say.
That opinion differs from the experience of the guys I work for - I work for the worlds largest M+E Contractor and it the top 3 in the UK and they suggest otherwise and have been principle contractor on a number of jobs which ran better than conventional jobs.... that said I preffer being subby as no main contractor I have worked with yet has the slightest idea about M+E.. MUHAHAHAHAHAA
