[QUOTE="Joe8189, post: 976413, member: 56382"] Hey Tom I've just come back into the trade and was hit by a similar situation. The builder I worked for wanted fixed quotes on all of the jobs he had lined up, purely based on the areas. A lot of the work was making good what the last tiler had done. It was shocking to say the least. One of the jobs was done with UFH and was 20mm high from the base floor. The part I had to finish was only a small entrance area. I told him I would have to make up 10mm from the existing floor, but he said I just had to lay a thick bed?? Thats when I walked away. He also wanted me to quote on M2, but it was not possible as I had no direct contact with the customer and what they wanted. My suggestion to him was that I was happy to quote M2 for straight forward work. Any fancy stuff will be on a day rate, with an estimated days to complete. I also offered to reduce my invoice (Days) if the job was done quicker than I had estimated and I asked if he would accept any days over. He still wasn't happy so I walked away. Hard as it is as I really need the work. It might be worth suggesting a similar agreement with your builder. Yours might go for it, as it seemed the fairest solution. Joe [/QUOTE]
