It's another scam.
That's business. emoji848.pngemoji107.png
I stipulate that I get paid at the end of the job, before I leave site.
I do domestic and commercial.
Unless we have had prior working experience and an arrangement, that's my terms. Non negotiable.
Some jobs with several staff and machines, which go over 1 week,
I stipulate staged payments so I can afford to pay staff etc.


However the milling business is different, quite happy to drop off a grands worth of timber and wait 30 days for payment, as most of my clients are small scale woodworkers.

It all sounded good, late afternoons, early nights on a big factory in Essex, jump in a van in the local town, £200/day on days, £250/evenings into the night. I'll have some of that if you pay me every week, I'm not risking being on 30 days with someone I don't know.

Essex is always dodgy, mate. :D

The economy has hit the top of the curve and is starting to drop in some areas. There will be lots of bust projects, non-payment etc in the next couple of years. I’ve reacted by putting my prices up and taking a deposit. I am considering taking 100% in advance but deposit is working for now.

What happens next then, do 'we' have to drop our rate to get a long run of work or do we crack on as we are?
