Builder's timetables....

[orkneylass]

6 weeks until we have to be out of the house and the new build seems to still need an awful lot doing...anyone had a house built on time??? Or if late, how late???

Golden rule to remember with builders - allow for double the time and double the cost, then maybe (with a bit of luck) you won't be disappointed. That's not just from personal experience - look at all those refurbishing programmes on tv. They always go over time and over budget, sad fact of life.

I blame all those Spanish Holidays - folk go off there and come back with so much Manana Manana that eventually that becomes acceptable in many walks of life.
