One contractor said he could not research the background of all his employees.

The contractors say raises that large might put them out of business.

However, one contractor with a good reputation said that this is not necessary.

"Good sense has nothing to do with it," said the contractor.

Now, contractors here said, the work is being properly carried out.

One contractor said he recently saw plans for a house with a full basketball court in the basement.

More of the material is being repaired than ever before, contractors say.

The contractor had said he'd have it up and running on Tuesday.

The contractor said the building would be finished by the end of the year.

The military contractor said its management would participate in the transaction.
