    This is a conversion one old small building converted into two even smaller dwellings, I put a price in at £1500 per dwelling to do a full install. Ok it was not a massive job pretty straight forward. I heard nothing from the builder, so I thought you can't win em all :( I later found out the job was done for £600 per dwelling [​IMG]

    either you like a big profit margin ( but at £1500 i would't say so) or somebodies slipped up big time or the most likely is the eastern Europeans are active in your parish :(

    Miners helmet for the lighting £25
    Six gang extension lead £15
    Coat-hanger for the TV aerial £0.20
    Plenty of profit at £600.
    Sometimes the quotes are just not like for like. Never join the race to the bottom, someone will always get there before you.

    My philosophy is " for nothing I can stay at home and do nothing " On this occasion I shall be :)

    Probably a job worth staying away from Flats mate. It can't be the same spec as yours for £600. I know price is a factor people always look at, but if its the only factor probably not customers you want anyhow mate ;)
