    Builder under estimated skip size needed for an excavation

    Yes I thought as much, but his argument is that he's paid for a skip, as stated in his quote and he wasn't sure how much earth was going to be excavate. Even though he knew the area to be excavated as this was set out. I had to get this sanity checked, just to make sure that I'm not being...

    joins in the cladding

    I paid a builder to build me a garden cabin and for the cladding he used cedar. He verbally told me that he was going to using complete strips, 2.5m long and clad it vertically. As the cladding was one of the last things to be done, his margin on the whole job I guess starting to dwindle and...

    Builder under estimated skip size needed for an excavation

    I'm in a dispute with my builder where I've paid up front for him to excavate earth from the back of my garden. In his quote he stated that all waste soil to be disposed of by hire of a skip. So he orders an average sized skip when really he should have ordered a really big one like a 12...

    Retainer

    Before taking up a building job, the builder agreed to a 30% retainer to be paid on completion, it was 30% because we didn;t know him so it may have been a little high but he agreed to it. So far he has been a pain in the ass. Alway disappearing on other jobs and our job has over run by 3 weeks...
