hi there
lets look at this in a more positive light,asive cracked it once and in the process of cracking it again for both commercial and residential builders.
make sure that your staff are cscs first of all, and that u have yout UTR for the CIS.
ive wonder commercial sites recently, and have irons in fire for residential housebuilders,
yes it can be a pain, short notice call offs for cleans, trades not caring etc, etc,
but as long as you areconfident and know what you are doing the site managers will work with you.
your biggest issue is to get the opportunity to tender for the work, and that can take a while if you dont go about it properly.
site calls can help, you can get the qs name and will also be told whehter the tender has been awarded or not, the size of the site, the number of units, and a sneak at the build program.
you then need to speak to the QS about the site or sites and start to build the relationship.
regards
martin
