MALCOLM VARTY THE DIRECTOR OF
“A BETTER GUIDE TO SUBCONTRACTING PTY LTD”
CRACKS A BIG ONE
The big one being the answer to subcontractor’s woes. Never before or at least not after Malcolm Varty and Chris White produced a video in 1999 called “A Guide to Better Subcontracting” - which sadly expired due to legislative changes almost two weeks after it was produced by the Bond University in Queensland - has anyone tried to put it all together for ordinary trades people.
Most tradesmen are expected to carry out a business appreciation course before they may apply for a trade licence. In my view these so called courses provided nothing to the applicant apart from basic business practices, which are not designed specifically for the Building and Construction Industry.

TAFE centres for learning provide imaginative and helpful information for their students but are limited in many areas, due to government cut-backs, to fully prepare their students for all possible outcomes when dealing with head contractors.
Registered Training Organisations have their curriculum set by the governing bodies who are mainly the Master Builders Association, the Housing Industry Association and the Unions.
Call me silly but aren’t the above organisation's members the ones that tradesmen have the problems with in the first place?
The only way to afford yourself of real education and help is to subscribe to “A Better Guide to Subcontracting”. We come from a trade background and have spent the last 18 years fighting for legislative changes to protect subcontractors. We have achieved great outcomes legislatively and also provide a service which applies a professional touch to your specific needs.
With your help www.abgts.com will be available free in all state and TAFE libraries soon.
