Im about to start Building in Flagstaff Hill...u?
Ive heard all the horror stories and have taken a while to build up the courage to do it.
Luckily the builder we are going through is from my wifes family so things are goin OK so far. You right though there are so many things that you need to think of and add to the basic price e.g. floor coverings, retaining walls, fences, outside paving, landscaping, pergolas, roller doors extras extras extras!!!!!!
would love to hear form anyone who has gone through the building experience and survived!

Yes, I heard your Penny Farthing was the fastest Farthing in the West! Followed by your nights doing the Charleston at the country dances (at Modbury), followed by a visit to the local two-up school...!mal wrote:When I was a brickies labourer jobs got done on time.

This has probably come about, as a result of frivilous legal proceedings in the past- now no-one wants to leave themselves exposed.
Customers can be very difficult to deal with, as they quite often have an unrealistic expectation of what will be achieved.
Also, they are sometimes presented an outcome that is unrelistic, & when this falls well short of expectations, look out!

Whilst some of the client's interests are noted, I would fall short of suggesting they are represented. Plus, it is actually us contracting them to build for us - they treat it as them contracting us to do a job.
