[QUOTE="Ffermer Bach, post: 7673418, member: 51054"] When you plan what you are going to do, try to make sure it is in increments of full plaster boards/boxes of tiles etc etc that will save on having to over order and use labour on cuts, I know it may not be possible, but every little will make the labour cheaper. I often noticed architects can design things that are harder to do on site, where as architectural technicians (who did a trade first) often design in a way that is easy to build on site. And remember, the real cost are in changing your mind part way through! I remember the plastering lecturer at college saying, when he did his own house his mate saw him putting in Ogee skirting and said, Pencil round, otherwise you are eating into your profit! [/QUOTE]
