What are these SE thinking because something i am doing is putting them off quoting.
I need calcs to use 4 oak purlins to hold up my new roof extension.
I have spoken on the phone to 5 engineers and then i sent an email giving more detail. Only one seemed interested in doing the calcs and gave me a price. He was £200. Another guy said £125 plus VAT on the phone but hasn't got back to me.
I didn't set out to get 5 quotes by the way, but have had to keep trying to get someone to come back to me.
It seems very weird. It is a job which doesn't really need a site visit.
Any pointers on how to approach these people. I am also thinking times must be very busy out there.
