Being aware of companies quoting square metre rates on the walls Vs floor. For example I got quoted $14m<sup>2<\/sup> to gib fix on the floor rate for Unit 1 and 2, then the fixers turn up to do the job, does half an day and make excuses the following day. Overall just muck me around and wasted everyone\u2019s time. So, I cancelled him and got another one in. We agreed on a rate of $14m<sup>2<\/sup> and he did the work. He assumed I was talking wall square metre and I assumed he knew I was talking floor square metre. Well the difference at the end was 3x!! We negotiated a rate of $8.50m<sup>2<\/sup> which I honoured but it did end up costing me 2X what I should have paid.<\/p>\n<p>I then ended up getting another lot of jib fixers for Unit 3 \/ 4 and let me tell you they were a breath of fresh air. Quoted $16m<sup>2<\/sup> on the floor came to site, did a great job, and left the site 3 days later with both units completed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div  class=\"bt_bb_column col-xxl-3 col-xl-3 col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-3 bt_bb_vertical_align_top bt_bb_align_left bt_bb_padding_normal bt_bb_hidden_xs bt_bb_hidden_ms bt_bb_hidden_sm\"  data-width=\"3\" data-bt-override-class=\"{&quot;bt_bb_align_&quot;:{&quot;current_class&quot;:&quot;bt_bb_align_left&quot;,&quot;xxl&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;xl&quot;:&quot;left&quot;}}\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_content\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_content_inner\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- cell_inner --><\/div><!-- cell --><\/div><!-- port --><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One very valuable (and expensive) lesson I have recently learnt is understanding the language of the tradesmen on the 4 house development.
