Hi All,
Could anyone shed some light on my dilemma. My Partner and I are sending out plans to tender for our new build. We are going fixed price contract. However, my brother is a carpenter who will fully qualify in June '07. He is excellent at his job and I want him to do our 1st and 2nd fittings only. Our roof is specilised Zinc, so he should not need to have anything to do with that. My partner protests that a Builder under fixed price contrat will not allow this. I say it's our house and surley other tradesmen go 'fixed' and do some work themselves and it's not a problem. The only problem that my occur is if anything need to be perpared for the roof, my brother does not want to do this.
Is this a problem or can it be sorted easily enough. I would appreciate anyone especially builders out there giving their opinion.
