I read it as others. Rydon would be the principle, and sub out the actual work to dozens of sub-trades.
I don't see "fast" in my quote above. However speed is always part of the equation. What never changes is the production "triangle." It doesn't matter whether you're building flats, shopping centres, or magazines. There's Speed, Cost, and Quality and a project manager should always expect, and be able to deliver, two out of three. Which two he/she chooses however is crucial. Unfortunately only the first two are objectively measurable, the third frequently requires experience to evaluate. Which refers back to the point in my previous post. If the person with oversight responsibility lacks the requisite knowledge and experience then they tend to fall back on the first two, because they're easier to justify. So all too frequently, fast & cheap win the day.
