💡 Cutting Corners Will Cost You Everything: Why “Cheaper” Jobs Come Back to Bite Hard

Let’s call it out straight:

👉 You’ve got contractors undercutting.
👉 You’ve got farms trying to “save a few quid.”
👉 And you’ve got environmental inspectors just waiting for someone to mess it up.

One bad decision now can cost you your farm later.
Yeah, it’s that serious.

Because when it comes to your slurry, drainage, or yard work — this isn’t a “quick job.”
It’s civil engineering. It’s compliance. It’s your eligibility for tens of thousands of pounds in grant funding now and in the future.

🚨 The Truth About “Cheaper” Quotes

We just had a contract pulled from us.
Someone else offered to do it for cheaper.
Same job, right?

Wrong.

What that farmer didn’t realise is that cutting corners doesn’t just cost money —
It risks their future:

• ❌ If the wrong materials are used — it fails inspection.

• ❌ If the paperwork isn’t submitted — no future grant funding.

• ❌ If the wrong levels are set — water runoff causes fines.

• ❌ If it fails after install — they’re on the hook to fix it, not the cowboy.

And guess what? When NRW or DEFRA check your site (which they are doing more and more), they won’t care what you meant to do.
They’ll fine you.
And you’ll have to start again — this time with a black mark against your name.

🔍 Why This Work Needs Civil Engineering — Not Corner Cutting

This isn’t just a hole in the ground.
It’s drainage science.
It’s weight calculations.
It’s runoff control.
It’s design drawings backed by engineers who sign their name to it.

💰 Why We’re Not the Cheapest — And Why That Saves You a Fortune

You’ll hear this soon:

“Well this lad can do it for half.”

Sure.
But ask yourself…

“Can he protect me from £75k in fines?”
“Can he get me more grants later down the line?”
“Can he guarantee I won’t have to redo this job in 6 months?”

Didn’t think so.

We don’t undercut.
We outperform.

And here's the real financial breakdown you need to see:

📉 What Cutting Corners Could Actually Cost You:

• ❌ Fines & Legal Risk – Up to £25,000 per offence

• ❌ Redoing Botched Work – £10–50K+

• ❌ Lost Grant Access – £30–100K in missed funding

• ❌ Lower Farm Value – Non-compliant = less lease/sale power

• ❌ Reputation Damage – Seen as “non-compliant” by future assessors

✅ What Doing It Right with Us Actually Gives You:

• 💷 £60K+ in current grant funding (planning + delivery)

• 🧱 Engineered, compliant infrastructure

• 📈 Future eligibility for higher-value grants

• 🛡 No risk of fines, shutdowns, or failed inspections

• 🔒 Long-term savings and peace of mind

So yeah, we’re not the cheapest.

But that’s because we don’t cost you later.

🎯 Farmers Who Plan Ahead Will Win This Decade

There’s a reason the government is offering up to £30K for planning your site properly.
It’s because they know what’s coming:

• Climate regulations tightening

• Public pressure mounting

• Government monitoring increasing

This grant isn't just a nice little extra —
It's a signal: "Get compliant now — or get left behind."

By doing this properly now, you’re unlocking:

• Bigger grant opportunities later

• Faster turnaround on approvals

• Total peace of mind

• Zero stress when the rules get stricter

🔚 Final Word: Do It Right. Do It Now.

If you're a serious farmer, you already know this:

“Cheap” is the most expensive decision you’ll ever make.

We’ve got 2 weeks to use the current grant window.
You can get £30K for your planning costs.
And another £30K+ for the actual works.

We’ll do it start to finish.
You’ll be set for a decade.

The cowboys will still be filling in potholes with a shovel and a prayer.
