    It's what a lot of people want, unfortunately. Even with quality stuff.

    I know exactly what you're saying! I seem to keep getting asked to quote for new builds/extensions (mainly extensions) lately and they all want floors putting in asap but don't like it when you start talking prep and dpm's.

    I've just priced a tasty job up that I really really wanted for someone that flips houses. Fresh two month old slab. She didn't want to spend the extra for the prep and dpm because she "is just selling the house and it'll eat into her margin". What do you do lads???

    ****es me right off!!
