Honestly what idiots are in charge. Has to be bribes involved. Otherwise why would you hire them. I know it’s tinfoil hat but come on

Taking bets now on how much over the 671 million budget they go, closest guess gets a room of their choosing in either hospital

Well if it costs (I can’t remember the exact figure) half a million for a bike shed, the cost of these hospitals are a bargain!!!!

The procurement process for awarding government projects is not fit for purpose

Sadly the mind doesn’t boggle. The same old story of politicians & property developers jumping together onto the gravy train to drain the public purse as much as they can, while producing a bunch of dogshit at ever-spiralling costs and zero accountability for any of it.

Not being smart but why is how much it costs to build a hospital in one jurisdiction relevant to what contracts they get in another?
Different governments, different contracts too no doubt.

Whilst I have zero sympathy for BAM who seem to be excellent at gouging there is an argument to say that those who wrote the tender without protections for public money deserve the most criticism.
Sure there will always be design changes mid project but it’s pretty clear the tender process for the children’s hospital was a kids drawing of a rugby ball with the word HOSTIPAL along the top and the part saying redesign clause filled in with the words ‘yeah whatever’.
