Builders eh

[Pete999]

Wr were going to start a rewire this weekend, empty house nice, you would think, we could get all the wiring done before they start, you would think, well no not really just had a phone call, oh we've boarded the walls can you come and put your wires in? easy, you would think, well I think I'm seriously ticked off, arrogant bunch of pillocks, I'm sure they think we are just there to make them look good, and when we damage the plasterboard they will be OK about it, I think not, sorry for the rant, anyone else got any sob stories from builders?:rant::2guns:

Be matter of fact with customer. There is a process to construction which the builder does not understand by boarding before 1st fix electrics and plumbing. He has wasted time and materials, simple as that. No actual builder would do that. Don't work around him. Tell him you will be back when it is ready for you.

Pete i have said it before, we are always last on the list and all the other trades seem to think that we should cater for their needs.

Electricians are the only trade that think's of others, that have to follow us, but this is probably because we are the most intelligent and can think in advance. unlike builder's who hit things with an hammer then ask questions after.

You sound just like one of those 'Electrician vs ??' sketches on youtube.
