Re: Calling all tradesmen!
Hey Marc, thats fantastic, thanks for highlighting that.

So many people have fall-outs with builders as they dont know how to cope with the stress, and can often easily over-react given a lack of information.

I think something a lot of builders often forget (Like in many trades) is that the customer has no idea what your doing or why, so its always a good idea to stop and bring your customer up-to-speed on your progress, and why things are being done the way they are.

This can not only be very re-assuring, but can also quash any niggling worries the customer might have, but just dont want to bother you with, or they might feel stupid asking about.

What profession are you in Marc ?
