Well it's a damn roller coaster. This morning had 3 confirmations of work and 2 others quite likely. On top of that I've been asked to divide up a quote for that massive architectural company so that is looking promising too. Unbelievable.

Just goes to show that sometimes you've just gotta eat it up and keep on keeping on and good things eventually happen :-)

Returning to a job to rectify a minor fault does not necessarily have a negative impact.
The customer appreciates your honesty. If anything I've had further work with them and I actually think they spread the word more because you returned.

Ok if a wall you built collapsed or fence completely blew away I think you can forget the above :D
Cheers

often architects asking prices is a waste of time, i priced a fountain some architects had designed it came out at £125k never heard back form them, obviously didn't think it was worth putting it to the client

we are crazy busy, busy all year
