Yes
Haha yes 👍
Double the time and double the cost estimate is the safe bet. I wish I was joking
Yes. ‘Contractor time’ for the latter, and lets blame fiat (sometimes wive’s changes mid-work) for the former.
As a builder with 20 years experience, I can tell you it’s a big YES! However, this is most often largely due to the client changing their mind/adding things on! If you don’t do this, a small contingency for unforeseen circumstances is still a good idea.
It depends on the competence of the contractor and their understanding of the needs of the project.
Haha. Strangely accurate tbh
Yeah we’ve added to the scope of work hugely
Fiat pricing doesn’t help that’s for sure
As a former architect, yes.
Main thing that I learned from Kevin McLeod.
