The Hidden Dangers of Using Customer-Supplied Fixtures


Listen Later

Ever wondered what it truly means to stand your ground as a tradesperson? This episode of Make Trades Great Again will enlighten you on the not-so-discussed implications of using customer-supplied equipment and fixtures. We delve into the nitty-gritty of why it's crucial to be knowledgeable about the quality of materials we use and how this impacts our businesses, both in terms of work efficiency and profitability. We also shine a light on the importance of understanding agreements and contracts when dealing with customer-supplied equipment fixtures and explain why installing equipment that customers have purchased themselves might not be the best idea.

Turn up the volume as we navigate the world of negotiating hourly rates and responsibilities. We lay bare our experiences dealing with customer-supplied fixtures and the ripple effects on our businesses. We also explore the importance of having the right person at the helm when things go awry. Wrapping up this enlightening conversation, we assert that standing firm on your business principles even if it means refusing to install equipment bought by customers, guarantees a job well done. So, step in, attune your ears and prepare to be enlightened on matters you thought you knew, and others you didn't know you should.
