It’s a balance between cost and workmanship. I always work with word of mouth but I expect that may not be easy in larger cities etc.
My builder mate is now providing quotes which last 6 weeks as opposed to three months because of materials rising in costs. He mentioned that a few people have put off work to wait until the prices drop! That won’t be anytime soon if ever.
It must be an absolute nightmare time to be a builder. Can't imagine trying to deal with the material cost changes - especially when the total difference can be in the 10's of thousands on big jobs.
