I’m struggling to get a builder to agree to come & do some work for me.
I’ve phoned every builder in my area & none of them are prepared to take on the job.
The reason that I’m consistently being given for their refusal is that they don’t like the contract that I insist they sign beforehand.
My contract states that I have a job for them. I’m not telling them whether it is a simple job like repointing a wall which could be done in half a day, or extensive work taking several weeks like building me an extension. They’ll find that out when they come to look at it.
…& if they come round to look at the job they cannot refuse to take it on.
……& I will pay them the same money whether it’s the simple or extensive job.
…& I decide how much I am paying them for the job & what I’m going to pay them is only about a fifth of the going rate.
……..and the builder has to pay for all the materials and for any subcontractors for no extra money…..even if those cost more than I am paying him.
I am here to be educated….why can’t I get a builder to take my job on?
Nice try ;)
You have no chance, at all. That seems a truly bizzare way of engaging someone. Have you heard of it working before?
For a lot of jobs they won't even engage in a written contract with deliverables.
Is there a point to the thread?
By today’s threads I’m guessing NHS dentists get their patients like this.Originally Posted by lewie
Isn’t it just….It’s analogous to the NHS Dental Contract & is the reason dentists don’t want to take on news NHS patients.
Not a hope in hell .
Good luck in finding a builder
Thanks for clarifying. I was confused!
Me too - I just took it face value.....................
Nice work!

I get the analogy but are any dentists struggling for work? I don't recall seeing many hard-up dentists, and in my experience it costs a lot of money for relatively quick procedures.
It may be tricky to find a good builder at an affordable price, but finding a good dentist at an affordable price is impossible for most people.
If builders had a steady stream of work, indoors paid for by the Government with the average salary of a dentist I doubt you'd find many moaning on a luxury watch forum.
Because he knows you're a rich dentist who's taking the p..........
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
But wouldn’t dentists work on an average? Possibly 1000s if patients do in the end they would fit a normal distribution? I appreciate the average may still be too low but very different than taking on 2/3 clients a year
