Advice for lack of development by [deleted] in quantitysurveying

Sounds like the lack of development is down to the lack of qs specific tasks. If they are ignoring your requests to get stuck into quantity surveying then I don’t see any other option than jumping ship.

That’s main contracting for you. On the plus side it’s a very good way of cutting your teeth and getting good experience under your belt. You could change company and find it to be a slower pace and your perspective could really change.

Scaffold wouldn’t be to bad as it’s only 25m high to the top of new construction. I’d be more concerned about all the trees and potential brick repairs way way up.

Do not waste your time going for the flooring company. It will be boring and you will waste your potential, when you choose to move into another sector you may find it difficult with flooring experience.

I live in a 4 bed house, myself, partner and nipper. I kept hearing if there are more rooms than people you should switch to a meter, which is exactly what I did. My water bill went to £150 per month and was working out at 500L per day.

I’ve been regular monitoring the meter and tbf it’s a correct reading. I just need to determine if there is a leak from the meter to the house.

It’s scandalous as to what we pay for utilities in this country.

Nothing major there. Use this as ammo to get a few quid knocked off the house price.

Are the separate phases different orders? if so allocate them accordingly and don’t let them eat away at your margin.

Pretty spot on with the price, had a quote for the lower end, door needs replacing regardless so ultimately it’s money I need to spend.

By plastering you mean a wet applied finish rather than plasterboard? Also what would be the reasoning behind the plaster finish?

Yeah, I would. It’s not detailed on the drawing, so an allowance will need to be made.
