Your Guide to Building Costs, Labour Prices and Tradesmen's Day Rates

Your Guide to Building Costs, Tradesmen's day Rates, Builders' Estimates, Quotations and Material costs"As honest, professional builders who want to do a good job for a fair cost, we are EMBARRASSED by the mickey-taking, snivelling rip-off merchants known commonly in the building community as cowboy builders."
We have a simple philosophy at The Building Sheriff:

The average homeowner knows very little about tradesmen's day rates and building costs
But as good builders, we do know about these things. It is all we know - we deal with these matters every day.
We know how tradesmen price jobs, how long they will take and how much the materials cost. This is why we set up The Building Sheriff - a website specifically for HOMEOWNERS to discover how much building work should cost.
We have articles covering all aspects of building such as job costs and guides for plumbing, roofing, tiling, plastering and much more well as a regular blog and a newsletter.
We invite you to learn, save money and perhaps have a laugh or two as you read.
We will issue you with this challenge: if, for some reason, there is a cost of building we have omitted, please email us, and we will rectify this. Immediately.
Yours sincerely,
The Building Sheriff
