I've been inundated with requests to price resin-bound work over the last few weeks, and all with a 2-3 day response window.

One bellend got really shirty when I sent my usual response that I'm not a contractor. He seemed to think I should take up the trowel once again just to help him out with an estimating deadline. I'm sure estimating depts just pluck names out of a hat without researching the credentials - after all, the job is promised to someone else most of the time and they just want comparative prices to make it look as though it was a fair tendering process.
