Hello Everyone

[Gattaca]

Hello Daniel, Stretch, nsk, KOVKID & PJK

I thought I would post some brief questions about the concept on this thread before putting them onto the main board. They are in essence the nitty gritty of the business idea.

- Who would you prefer to fit between Howden, Magnet Trade or Wren?
- Would you agree to a supply and fit with no upfront payments if you were 100% guaranteed to be paid on completion?
- Could you do full strip out, supply, fit cabinets/worktops/sink/appliances/flooring/splashbacks, offer full corgi/gasafe cert's within 14 days, assuming you had already visited site and full choices were agreed?
- If an average contract price was approx £6,000 would £1,200 for fitting and between £250-£500 margin on supply be enough to attract the very best in the business?

Really happy to hear any of your thoughts, I think I have alot of the answers already but ready for any other points of view

Cheers

Howden and magnet would be fine to fit in a skip. 1200 for fitting aint gonna happen, as for attracting the best in the bussiness, try looking at your pricing structure again and not many will do it without money upfront.

Oh and welcome to the forum

Thanks for you post, Chip.

A number of replies have stated I have missed by a mile on the pricing so will review that. I have landed on the suppliers I suggested as they are the only ones with national presence and an ability to supply from stock.

The no money upfront I can see is a potential hurdle and I need to explain in further detail why I can offer a 100% guarantee of payment. I realise it's a departure from the normal way of working for independent fitters.

Thanks for your post, Appreciate you taking the time.

Cheers

Phill
