Incase anyone didnt know, they are the contractors behind the 42 schools that have structural defects.

Surely a company that is responsible for all these schools defects should have a ban on being able to bid until a report is concluded that they are not in the wrong?

Why is the contractor allowed to keep building if their work has been proven to be what appears sub standard?
