key barrel should be changed tomorrow.
Its disappointing that I can’t argue with advice like that.First rule as a customer .Change a lock after trades have finished if they have had access to a key etc .You never know if a duplicate has been cut (This includes all so called Banham security locks, they are easily copied ) You only need the night latch lock changed . Same for when Domestic staff leave etc .
Started long ago, it's just getting worse.Isn't that the modern way now
Even worse !Its disappointing that I can’t argue with advice like that.
however, you could say the same for family and friends, you never know what they are up to either.
Don't forget the chauffeur and the limo keys.Must remember to change the locks when my current butler's tenure expires
Many projects the "chiefs" want the trades as far away from the client as possible .And in some cases the client would never ever talk to the "trades" . Ive worked on projects where if the client came . We all had to leave any part of the property they might visit and most certainly not to even "greet or smile " !Started long ago, it's just getting worse.
When it comes to it, there's only one boss and that's the owner. Be it a project manager, interior designer or the hands on contractor, in case the s*** hits the fan, they should be kept informed and up to date, whoever's in charge on site.
That's a different point. altogether, though.....and understandable, in some cases.Many projects the "chiefs" want the trades as far away from the client as possible .And in some cases the client would never ever talk to the "trades" . Ive worked on projects where if the client came . We all had to leave any part of the property they might visit and most certainly not to even "greet or smile " !
And that is the million dollar question! If I knew then what I know now I would’ve PM’d the renovation myself - much less stress and I wouldn’t have lost most of the tradespeople he got in for me. Hindsight is a wonderful thing!Clearly the question you came here to ask has since been answered but, from information contained in subsequent posts, I can't help wondering what value the project manager brings to this party.
Bin the PM, Talk to the electrician and see if 2 calm heads can sort out whats required and life goers on ?And that is the million dollar question! If I knew then what I know now I would’ve PM’d the renovation myself - much less stress and I wouldn’t have lost most of the tradespeople he got in for me. Hindsight is a wonderful thing!
That's it. Not all the shysters are out to make a quick buck.And that is the million dollar question! If I knew then what I know now I would’ve PM’d the renovation myself - much less stress and I wouldn’t have lost most of the tradespeople he got in for me. Hindsight is a wonderful thing!
Why did the Electrician walk away? your interference or what?
Sorry you took Umbridge at my questionNot our interference (I found that question quite rude tbh). The fact that his team didn’t follow my very clear instructions and did their own thing is a completely different conversation and not the reason he walked out. Reading between the lines I think it was mainly a breakdown between him and our PM and we took the brunt of it. We’ve been left with a fusebox which has a sign on it saying not to turn on any more switches so no idea if it’s safe. All quite sad really
It's personally expected to ask a questionSorry you took Umbridge at my question
And then take the designs back to the customer (not PM, if there is one), just before you do anything irrevocable, make sure the customer fully understands them, and confirm that these are the FINAL designs, with absolutely no changes to follow, however insignificant those changes might appear to be by the customer.6. Tell the electrician of the kitchen and bathroom designs
