I flipped my lid again this morning, which in the grand scheme of things twice in one week is good going for me. The first was at an 'established' (and I use that term loosely) mason who because he is on day works had taken 5 hours to do a circular cut out in some paving....its not rocket science, even me, myself and I could have done it quicker. Yesterday I sent out for some prices for some internal stone for a forthcoming contract. I have already secured the exterior stone work and now they have asked me to quote for the follow on stuff. Its all basic marble, nothing unusual but I had to go to a certain 'fashionable' name for supply only. I got this back this morning...
Morning Lynn
Are you tendering for this project , or have you already been awarded this stone package?
I have given our price to survey, supply & fit to 4 or so main contractors - but not supply only - as you are aware there is a lot of stone mainly bespoke cut from slab on this project. I do not have a cutting sheet to price these works on a cut to size basis at present I am afraid
Can anyone spot anything here? How can you give a price to survey supply and fit if you dont have any cutting sheets? So I hit the phone with mr salesman...who must think that the job is in the bag for him. Smarmy was not the word, but its all going to kick him up the backside on Tuesday now, because I have sourced the stone direct now at a considerably cost than his fancy 'bespoke' prices.
I love it when a plan comes together.
Hope everyone has had a good week! and hope you all have a better long weekend.
Chin up! and Eat Bacon!
