HI all newbie here ,
just stumbled upon what looks like an alladins cave of building infirmation.
Just a brief intro about myself, 24 years in construction mainly housing and I am progressing from being a joiner to being the director of my own joinery subcontract business within the house building industry. Have been a site foreman and site manager but frustrated with the lack of quality which is produced I have decided to form my own company.
I have put out intro letters to housebuilders in scotland ,
IE Bellway, Bryant, Redrow ,Gregor Shore , Barratt looking to price for new developments,
What i’m looking for is info on how a QS working within the house building industry thinks plus loads of other questions like contract types ,costing the job ,etc etc
I can’t thank your collective knowledge enough and look forward to many good discussions on this subject.
thanks martin.

Oldest first- 0Chris Oggham ·Hi Martin,
If I’ve read your post correctly, much of the advice you have asked about isn’t directly related to planning. Your own experience as a site foreman and a site manager should have given you some grounding in the things you are asking about. Could I suggest that you search the web for the specific information you require, bookmark the sites that are useful to you and tie in with the information you already have.
Sorry I can’t give you anything more specific, but my experience with house construction is very small.
Chris Oggham - 0Martin Healy ·thanks for your replies ,Chris and Anoon I will keep searching for info on the web , and I’m sorry Anoon if you thought I was being dismissive of your comments, I just did not know how to take them .
Meanwhile if any Qs out there has useful info they want to part with concerning my post feel free to reply.
thanks again
martin.
