    I hate the colour of the windows, if they were white they wouldn't look too bad.

    I'd be worried he would want to make the deadline even by cutting back on quality.

    €20k is about 15%, not bad if that's it.

    Builder is taking the piss, demolition of a wall, FFS. You're on site already, people are standing around, so knock the fcuking wall, geez . You don't charge for that.

    Builder causing a fuss because he's trying to throw this up.

    Seems a very hard man to work with because he only has one thing on his mind, and that's getting out of there as quick as possible

    All these costs should be known and not a shock invoice

    Yea. I know a few couples like them. One serious and grounded. One arty and quirky. Seems to work.

    He set them up! He knew what he was doing for those extras.

    Most builders I work with won’t **** without getting sign off before doing anything as arbitration/disputes resolution is difficult/expensive!

    It's a mixture e.g. Builder told him of the door needed blocking up, he said ok. There was obviously going to be a cost involved. Commication not very good between them. I wouldn't mind seeing the list that brought it upto 20k.
    To be honest, the builder didn't come out of that too well.

    That catfight was tool vs tool.
    I feel so sorry, yer man the client looked mortified and close to tears.

    I like what they already did up in the house honestly, but to be fair it's exactly my style and I'm thinking of shaving and undercut again.

    What stops builders saying “ I can do that but it costs” when something new is asked for. And how much for knocking a wall. Can’t take that much.
