Just kidding, I'm aware that offshoring happened to a certain extent - heard rework costs caused some of these jobs to come back. Was just wondering if they had "solved" some of these problems with off shoring....
It's only going to get worse. Korea is becoming the new offshoring destination of choice, and they make India look skilled and competent. Quality of work rarely matters anymore, cost is the predominant driving factor these days.

The main point is, don't blame the EPCs for the cheapness. Blame the clients and their constant demands for more work done for less money. The EPCs would gladly keep the work here and bill the clients for work done at Calgary rates if they could.
