Jay :
I had a client tell me they had a quote of 50k for a double storey extension finished and I laughed and said I can’t even cover the materials for that

probably because a lot of them fold, screw over their customers, and then start up again under a different name

Wow that’s unbelievable. I can’t believe that money goes out of business per year. I thought it was made up and I just checked it online and it’s actually true. Actually on this year is actually higher on that number crazy.

I saved £5k on my extension on facing bricks alone by shopping around and not just going with what all the local merchants wanted to charge (had to wait an extra week for delivery but I was buying ahead of time anyway), timber ordered online and was drop shipped by a good local builders merchant that would have charged me 3x more for the same material (they tried to get me to order direct but wouldn't give me the same low price), steel is another thing that seems to vary massively in price; this is why I have provided materials on my own extension, I can spend time getting the best deals, I do feel that with many builders they neglect this side of the project management, although I have had some that are exceptional at it tbh.

Yeah, it’s probably a fraction of that, the majority of the ones that “closedown” are questionable. Hence they want to pass laws to the builders.

25 percent? I really doubt that. But you’re right, the biggest problem is customers choosing unrealistically cheap quotes then crying when the builder disappears,
