There are many unscrupulous tradesman out there trying it on with the customer ("Once bitten twice shy!"), as well as many customers trying it on with tradesman.surely value for money`s the order of the day here.....
People are ceasing to trust one another, in an ever increasing "dog eat dog world".
Customers also watch cowboy builder programs which recommend getting detailed quotes for work to protect themselves from dodgy trades.
People are asking for detailed quotes because they are ceasing to have trust in people they employ and are also looking for value in a world where many people are heavily indebted.
Lots of tradesman benefitted from an inflated market influenced by borrowed money.
Now the market has gone into reverse.
Lots of tradesman aren't getting enough work, supply is outstripping demand, customers are seeking value.
