It's so confusing. I've been getting quotes for a roof plumber to put the cladding on, anticon, and do the roof plumbing and cheapest quote so far was $15,000 three others ranging from 21,000 to 26,000 and most expensive $48,000. They've all quoted on exactly the same thing with exactly the same materials specified. I always get so scared about chosing the wrong contractor and picking the ******* one. And I know everyone says not to go with the cheapest quote but we purposely went for a more expensive quote with our plumber and had multiple problems with his work and had to sack him. I've now gone directly to a steel company to find out rough costs of the materials, then we're going to chose 2 and ask for addresses of their previous jobs and have a squiz at their work. I'm just really scared of getting a ******* roof as our current shack/dump had a leak over my daughters bedroom and it was such a nightmare to fix. Its just so exhausing putting this much energy into every stage/decision/tradie. We're not so great at making decisions, and there are just so many of them to be made!

Where are you, I can ask if he will do you area and then send details. What other trades do you need because I have it Sussex now .... Finally! Re: Another OB in Perth Foothills...now with floorplan 19Mar 30, 2011 2:20 pm Thanks for the offer Kay, I'd appreciate that. We're in Maida Vale, so opposite side of town to you. We're also looking for a sparkie, plasterer and ceiling fixer and would appreciate any recommendations of good workmanship!

WA has a particular way of building and unfortunately that's the way a large amount of sills are finished. 3 6996 Hi, Apologies - I know there is plenty out there on this but struggling to put together the puzzle. We're planning our garage/external laundry to master bedroom and… 0 10925 I am not sure whether Perth has its own way of doing things in regards to this. Most of Perth has class A (sandy soil), except for some areas near rivers or hills. 2 13053 |
