Builder looking to learn more

[Octopus]

The ONLY builder I work with introduces me to the clients during the bidding stage.... and a draft specification is written by me and a "rough" price is given once any changes are agreed.

As and when work starts, as changes get requested or issues uncovered, the spec is updated... and this is reflected in the pricing....

Its a shame more builders didn't go about things this way! What gets to me is, construction is a team effort. In the grand scheme of things, all trades should support each other to accomplish the same common goal - complete a job and get paid! So why there is so much animosity between trades I find odd.

ANY builder who expects me to work for an undefined spec, with no direct communication with the client, and payment when they want, won't be getting me on their team........
