Speak Builder: The Words on Site Nobody Explains
£0.00
Understand Every Conversation on Site
Builders, electricians and suppliers use a language of their own, and nobody stops to explain it.
This free guide translates over 40 of the words you will hear on site into plain English, along with the everyday phrases that quietly add to the bill, so you can follow every conversation and never agree to something you do not understand.
What Is Inside
Paperwork and Money: the words on quotes, contracts and invoices that affect what you pay
Structure and Services: from load bearing walls and steels to first fix and consumer units
Finishes and Joinery: from skim and screed to plinths, reveals and architraves
Phrases That Cost Money: the innocent sounding requests that can add to the final bill
Five Questions to Ask before you hire a builder
Who This Is For
Homeowners about to start a renovation or extension
Anyone comparing quotes or about to hire a builder
Those who have nodded along on site and wished they had asked
