Na fuck off mate. If I'm paying you £350 to 400 quid a day you can organise the materials and I'll pay for them. I'm not paying you extra for making a fucking phone call which is part and parcel of your job.
And I'm not delusional as I'm sitting in my kitchen diner extension which cost me, including the kitchen, about 50k. and I'm really happy with it. And the builder is happy too. Everyone is happy because we've all been reasonable and fair with each other and not tried to tuck each other up. He's charged me what he considers is fair for his expertise and I have gladly paid for it.

Well done you but you are delusional. As the analogy I used you dont go to Tesco and get cost price food because you need it why should you as a house owner deserve cost price goods for something. You shouldn't. The day rate your paying for isn't including sitting down for half a shift working out materials its for you to do the job which if they were im sure you'd be complaining.
Sincee your working on that method is the trade person due X of what the value the extension or loft conversion has added to the house. The answer is no.
Tradesmen are a business and not a charity at the end of the day.
