No, Lee, I'm sure that is the case. However, I bet she can buy any building materials cheaper than a bonafide builder would sell them to her, as no builder will sell them for what he pays (unless he is making it up in another part of the job). Agreed?
Anyway, here is our bungalow as we bought it.......
Here it is once we got cracking, note the area's of dodgy coloured brick under the bay's and a bricked-up window at the side.......
But for the finale, what the fook would you do about this without rendering??
Answers on a postcard!!.....
NOPE, totally disagree. When i price for work, i get a firm price of suppliers, then add my labour ...and thats what i/we charge. IF more materials are needed after...ie extra work then the customer gets charged accordingly.
You have obviosuly either
Spoke to the wrong people about how builders work...
Used the wrong builders in the past and are tying the lot with the same brush...
Made your own conclusions basd upon what youve seen on rogue traders
