Re: ***Tweb's Funniest Home Improvement Contest***
I have provided a couple of builders with copies of the drawings and structural engineers report and asked them for a detailed quote, i.e. a breakdown of costs for building works, electrical, plumbing, kitchens, bathrooms etc but all seem hesitant to provide this. They are happy to give me a total price but if I don't know exactly what is included, then the total cost could increase if they haven't accounted for everything I want. Is this normal? Should I be doing things differently?

Yes it's normal and yes, expect to have mysterious new charges pop up once in a while.
"Years ago, I mean decades ago, I read a quote about politicians performing quid pro quo favors for campaign cash, and whether or not we could prove it. The guy who was quoted opined that it was difficult to determine. He noted that in many cases, the payoff might not take the form of votes on legislative action -- those might be detectable, and so are avoided -- but could take subtler forms, like the question that is never asked at a hearing.
The media's doing a terrific job of not asking questions it doesn't want to know the answer to. It doesn't ask these questions in bulk, and the great volume of questions it doesn't ask makes it cheap to not ask questions.
And it passes these savings on to you, the customer." Ace
