Martyn why will the Builder have to pay for the work to be done when VM presumably foot the cost of the materials, equipment and man power when they cable an area and connect a property to their cable network?

If this is the case then VM must have offered some form of incentive as the builder seems to be in a no win situation of increased costs for very little, if no, added profit.

I could understand them working in tandem, work on large housing developments is often carried out by both joint, and subcontractors, having VM subcontractors on site would just be another area that the Site Manager would feed into his organization plan. No wonder no other builders have wanted to do it in the past if they have to foot the bill whilst the cable company makes a profit with very little outlay.
