I'd pass on him too, sounds like he was trying to make a bit too much profit on materials and got called out. Most builders worth their salt can float material costs until work commences. We're about to start our extension but had a last minute change to our design, architect was cool and charged £100, structural surveyor was cool and charged £100, I have a nasty feeling the builder ain't gonna be cool because it's the eleventh hour and is going to bend us over knowing we really don't have an alternative. Fingers crossed.

Yeah.
It's just not the way the 3 other trades blokes we've had worked.
Plumber: Yep, you want these? I've called the merchants, you call them, they'll charge you trade.
Builder: Here's the price of what you paid for. Here's my time.
Plasterer: Here's what you're paying for. Here's my time.
