My builder s**m site

[Mick1995]

Anyone else ever used (my builder) feel like I have just been stung for money for nothing
My mate said have a look on it because he uses it alot I never have and never will again so I got short listed for a little job when the lady contacted me she said I would like a quote on ceiling but don't want the job doing for a few months so I am sitting here a little confused to how my builder can take money off you with no evidence that the work actually needed doing surly should be when job is completed or am I being a tight a## please let me know

No they take the money for the lead ..
So your out of pocket from the get go ....
basically it’s a site for , fuxin clowns who want to bid for work ...






If you need to generate some work (a google business page is free )....
Or even a Facebook business page ect ect ...

With the same conclusions...

I think GPS liked them or something most say they're shite for shite tradesman.

Programmes like @cowboy builders
Scare the public (brainwash )

Then Create a fantasy of vetted individuals
to give the illusion of checks have been made ..
Mrs Jones surely will be safe ..

Stick to what you know mate , it’s hard enough to make money without giving it away ...

Thinks of it , why pay someone to tell them how good you are ..

Am in shock that's its aloud if am honest can't get my head around the fact you bid for the job in my experience even when I was an apprentice I boss would say if your good enough the customer will wait for you seems to be flipped on its head with that site

If you are ok for work you do not go on a site looking for work.
