Take control of the job – if you read up on stuff, learn how things go together, you’ll probably be doing better than most of the tradesmen you get in.<br />2. Be wary of ‘that’s the way we do it around here’ – most details are commonsense and when you hear ‘that’s the way we do it around here’ it’s generally to save time for the builder<br />3. If you’re doing a raft and need a Radon barrier – put it under the raft – I know most builders do this already but there is an option for it to go on top – it’s difficult otherwise to join the radon together when the barrier that’s down has been trodden on, built on and plastered on !<br />4. Be wary of suppliers/manufacturers – investigate what you need, research and see it done somewhere else, remember that suppliers are in the business to sell you stuff – you may not even need it !<br />5. Be prepared to get your hands dirty a. you’ll get more respect b. you’ll constantly be needing to tidy up between trades c. it’s good therapy d. you’ll be in control<br />More to come…<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-8406403137021750";
