Possibly our last quick turnaround kitchen until a larger project starts in Swindon Town Centre. All existing units out, Wickes complete kitchen and worktops. Existing tiles to remain, caused little issue but nothing to type about 😂. Got to love the Matt grey.

We’re still taking bookings, so if anyone interested in a makeover, shout us?

Shout out to Danny Moss and WasteAway for your help.

We dont usually go behind other contractors but when you see what was left, it had to be done. Worktops cut wrong, units put in wrong place, not levelled correctly, the list goes on.

Been a while since posting as UK Retail Solutions and I AM Construction are busy busy on various projects. Here we have a kitchen knock through to create more space and natural lighting. A Magnet kitchen installed with lots LED lighting, showing off the stone worktops. New vinyl flooring to express the large floor area. Fresh plaster on the walls with new smart LED spotlights.
During the job, customers were very helpful by supplying us with hot chocolate and I personally must have a shout out to their son Angus, you are a legend. Every morning his name was shouted to get up out of his bed 🤣
There are still minor materials we are waiting for which at the minute seems to be a struggle all over.
Thanks to WMB Electrical Services Ltd and T Maslen plumbing and heating solutions for your continued help.

Used this from another guy and how so very true 🤔🤔

A customer asked a contractor how much it would cost to do this project.

The contractor gave him a quote: £4500

The customer responded: That’s seems really high.

The contractor asked: What do you think is a reasonable price for this job?

The customer answered: £2500 maximum

The contractor responded: Ok, then I invite you to do it yourself.

The customer answered: I don't know how to.

The contractor said: Alright, then how about for £2500 I'll teach you how to. So besides saving you £2000, you'll learn valuable skills that will benefit you in the future.

The customer answered: Sounds good! Let’s do it!

The contractor responded: Great! To get started, you are going to need some tools. You will need a chop saw, table saw, cordless drill, bit set, router, skill saw, jig saw, tool belt, hammer, etc..

The customer answered: But I don't have any of those tools and I can't justify buying all of these for one job.

The contractor responded: Ok. Well then for an additional £300 I can rent my tools to you to use for this project.

The customer answered: Okay. That’s fair.

The contractor responded: Great! We will start the project on Monday.

The customer answered: I work Monday through Friday. I’m only available on the weekends.

The contractor responded: If you want to learn from me then you will need to work when I work. This project will take 3 days so you will need to take 3 days off work.

The customer answered: That means I’m going to have to sacrifice my pay for 3 days or use my vacation time!

The contractor responded: That’s true. Remember, when you do a job yourself you need to account for unproductive factors.

The customer answered: What do you mean by that?

The contractor responded: Doing a job completely from start to finish includes time spent to plan the project, pick up materials, travel time, gas, set up time, clean up, and waste disposal amongst other things. That’s all in addition to the actual project itself. And speaking of materials, that’s where we will start on Monday so I need you to meet me at the lumberyard at 6:00am.

The customer answered: At 6am?!! My work day doesn’t usually start until 8am!

The contractor responded: Well then you’re in luck! My plan is to start on the deck build by 8am. But to do so we have to start at 6am to get materials picked up, loaded and delivered to your job site.

The customer answered: You know, I’m realizing that a lot more goes in to a job than what a customer sees in the finished project. Your quote of £4500 is very reasonable. I would like you to handle the project.

CONCLUSION:

When you pay for a job, especially a custom job, (whether it’s a physical project or digital project) you pay not only for the material and the work to be completed. You also pay for:

✅ Knowledge
✅ Experience
✅ Custom Skills
✅ Tools
✅ Time to plan
✅ Time to prepare
✅ Professionalism
✅ Work Ethic
✅ Excellence
✅ Discipline
✅ Commitment
✅ Integrity
✅ Taxes
✅ Licenses
✅ Sacrifices
✅ Liabilities
✅ Insurance

If you request a quote for custom work to be done, please don’t disrespect a service provider by trying to get them to lower their prices.

If their quote exceeds your budget, there’s nothing wrong with getting other quotes.

Just remember.. you get what you pay for.

👉🏼 SERVICE PROVIDERS: Know your worth and be confident in it.

👉🏼 CONSUMERS: Recognise their worth and be respectful of it.
