How Hard Can it Be
our dream home
Don't answer your mobile they will soon get the message.. Or better still if it bugs you that much make a message that kindly asks the tradies to call your land line..
That's what I reckon.... just don't answer the mobile and they (tradies/anyone for that matter) will hopefully, eventually call the landline. Or even if they don't - don't return the message left on the mobile (again, assuming it's not an emergency) and when they ask if you got their message or why you didn't return the call, you can say that as per your instructions, you had asked them to call the landline so you had only been checking that message-bank. They might eventually learn to contact you on the landline, but I just think you are fighting an uphill battle on this one and maybe not worth the headache it is causing you.
Good luck.

exactly, and hope that you are not paying interest on the 2 week standoff for your tradie wanting an answer on something but because you refuse/ not answering your mobile he is treading water.....whilst your paying interest on funds.....
seriously, dont even bother giving a mobile number if you never want to be called on it.
i can see both sides and although it may seem as "simple instructions",it is the building industry and some by the looks of things need to suck it up a bit....man you are lucky someone is even ringing you.
If its urgent I'm sure they can leave a message!
And very true, lucky they are calling you! If that's the only issue with the builder your doing really well. Good luck
