Time's Ran Out

Happy Sunday people,

I've been to look at a job this weekend, bit of a jump in what I'm used to but really excited at the opportunity hence why I'm after some help.

The job is a huge farmhouse. 170m2 of 600x750x20 limestone
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But really it's not always just about price!
When customers are spending this amount of money it shouldnt be about getting the cheapest price. It's having confidence that who they get will do a good job. They get estimates to judge the tradesman as much as seeing how much it will cost and unless you are experienced or a good salesman you are may lose out!
Although the price you quoted is extremely competitive, for 170 m it is doable. They may not have the overheads some of us have, they may have a 'window' to fit it in, or they may just be big enough to take on large contracts and complete them in a week.
The only time anyone knows if it's vslue for money is if the customer is happy and they stay down !
In the end it's good experience and puts you in a better position the next time.
Happy Thursday .
