The life of a "subbie"

We've been pretty lucky with the plumbing and electrical sub-contractors. Excellent work and professionals who communicate and share their own ideas as to how we can develop the original brief.

The only problem is when you expect some work to be completed and they disappear for days on end. Clearly, another more important project beckons...

Perhaps not. It's when the subbies start talking about their own invoices - due to be paid by the main contractor - alarm bells start to ring. We need to ensure there is sufficient stability and thrust behind this project, without any distractions on the financial front.
