Any ideas guys?

The thing is, is ive been offered some work, quite a lot of it actually, i havent seen any contract yet so its still up in the air but ive been offered 22 new build houses to wire and test.

and

Ive done work in houses before but im more commercial, if im being honest i dont have a clue about paperwork etc so im going to have to get my head in books to catch up with regs and who i have to notify.

I dont really do much work in houses just odd bits, i work on the agency when work comes about which is very little these days.

Contracts and planning is the way to go. As long as you're not desperate for work and can cover your losses for 6 months then this venture will be one very steep learning curve for you.

There are companies out there who specialize in new build contracts and have all the loop holes covered. They know how to provide the logistics to keep the job flowing smoothly; keep their materials costs down, provide trades persons at site when required. delivery and storage of materials; security of equipment, transport and materials.

But I think your biggest problem at the end of the day will be to actually make a profit .
