Episode 73 Avoiding Cowboy Builders
Spot a Cowboy Builder Before They Cost You Everything.
As the property developer everything is your fault, set your project up for success because poor systems can turn a good builder into a cowboy builder.
They paid £80,000. The builder had done £30,000 of work.
No contract. No agreed payment terms. No valuation schedule.
And they had absolutely no idea until it was far too late.
In this episode, Phil sits down with Tim, 20 years in project management and estimation, for a straight-talking, no-nonsense guide to protecting your UK property development from the ground up.
Whether you're converting a commercial unit, running an HMO refurb or managing your first development project, this one could save you thousands.
Here's what we cover:
Why anyone in the UK can call themselves a builder, and what that means for your project
The red flags that reveal a cowboy builder before they even start
The steps to take if a builder is already on site and it's going wrong
The real difference between good, poor and cowboy performance
This isn't theory. This is 20 years of hard-won experience, condensed into one episode.
