Build costs

[nod]

Just wondering how others are managing there build costs 

Our previous build was all on a spreadsheet and quite easy to keep a track of price hikes 

Now it’s very difficult to know if prices are real or just another supplier overcharging With often 20-30% differences for the same item 

Shooing around can turn into a full time job

I've been shopping around for Windows. The exact same windows, from different Rationel suppliers. a whopping 50% difference in the quotes. When I questioned this, they significantly reduced their price, but it's ludicrous some companies consider this standard practice. 

 

The cheapest, interestingly, was actually less than what I was quoted for a uPVC range...

Rolls of Croma membrane £30 a roll difference 

Steel One company 5 k another 2.5
