Would £ 25m2 for an old Victorian house seem ok for hardwall?
Those monster drinks are horrendous. Coffee, water tea. Good job on 6 years buddy!!!
What a dude 👍
Is project manager same as project Engineer ? And also , is site manager same as site Engineer ?
grow
You're right ,bro .my builder app is worst app
I agree with nine of the ten things to check, also the rising damp farce. Nice to see you point that out. I'm not so sure about gypsum plaster etc not being able to breathe, what is breathing. Vapour still passes through these products and with correct ventilation and humidity levels, ie dew point temps etc, all is good. Most problems are caused from bridging and condensation on cold spots. Great vid though.
Great Concept ❤❤ Really Helpful ❤ Thankful Much 🙏🏻
When people het old the sleeves and other tattoos look so dumb
@@Jhinna wow. What did you like about the way I look ?
@PaulTinkerMakeMOREprofit nothing I get to distracted by the scribblings on your arms
@ I wonder if you would cross the street to say that to me - it would be unlikely. But it’s ok to sit behind a keyboard and send abuse to another human being because it’s on-line. You should be ashamed of yourself
So nice to hear a tradesman talking such common sense. A real breath of fresh air. I learnt a lot and it confirmed a lot that I suspected. Thank you.
@@MareBartleet ahhhhh he’s a top guy too
Ibrahim looks amazing. In a world that is somewhat overpopulated with grey trackie pants he is a refreshing change.
Why not just go on site in PPE everytime?
I wouldn't be too happy if a vendor starting pulling carpets up in my house without even putting in an offer yet 😂
I did say "where possible" in mist cases, when an investment property for refurbishment, theres not usually an issue with doing so. However, if occupied and Mrs Miggins is following you about with a mug of tea in her hand you might not
Regifted or just lifted😂
I would definnitely had reused this ston - it was in great condition
I am so very grateful that the universe pointed me in Kevin's direction - and that he was willing to take me on as his student. There are very few people that I have any time for in the property education world, but Kevin, and those he associates with, are all good eggs and I trust them to show me the facts and the best way forward. All the rest can keep their rolex watches and bigboy cars.
@@MareBartleet love this … he’s a top guy
when I talk about the media I mean specifically tv programs like builders from hell. Dominic Littlewood use to say over and over "make sure you get at lease 3 quotes and make sure there free" . it was almost his tag line. at that period in time every tv program about builder seem to want to bash builders and paint them in a poor light, and I genuinely think we are still suffering from the effects of programs like to still to this day. They had no agenda to help build relations between customer and builder, like you do as that doesn't get people watching. where highlighting the odd few poor jobs builder have done out of the millions of good jobs did. it was very much a case of what ever sells, regardless of the damage it could do to the industry, that lets face it everyone will need as some point of there life. iv tries all seniors to get round this over the last 30 years in this game but iv always found a genuine reluctance from customers to pay for quotes or estimates especially from the times of these so call informational tv programs.
explain more about CDM in aspects of safety?
A proper swindler, convicted but still full of excuses. He glossed over the gambling. Unbelievable that there are people promoting him.
Everything being offered including what's on their website can be had for free searching the internet. Exception, what's not free is what they want you to pay them for LOL :)...
@@commanderbishop thanks for your valued comment … you are correct ✅
Wow.... the struggle is real, thank you for sharing yoir story, I feel so much better for hearing another man's experience. I hear your pain, makes me feel so much more grateful. when I hear your story and then look through the projects I've somehow managed to bring to fruition I realise how lucky I am.
Sir i dont have any trade skills but i wanna work as a labourer on the site,how do i go about getting my CSCS card?
Great Content, Paul. Well done! Thanks for sharing.
@@t1r4sgo63 thanks mate appreciate you
Hello. I am a 19 year old sophmore in college thinking about majoring in construction engineering and management. At first, I was leaning towards civil engineering. However, with all of the research I've done, im leaning towards construction. It aligns more with my goals, and I think it could get me the farthest in life. I was wondering what the intry level type of jobs are in the construction field? Like, what could get me through the door? I wouldn't be comfortable enough to give orders to people who already know what their doing. Im also a girl and have no idea what that would look like for me. Im comfortable with everyone unless they give me a reason not to be. Ps I had a construction class in hs for two years and was the only girl. It was my favorite class and I never had any problems. Those guys are partly why i want to pursue a career in this field.
Great stuff
@@HTSecurity-ou5ch thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks for having us Paul. Great to chat with you guys.
@@OxhornLimeworksLtd-ik8qu my pleasure my mate - fantastic episode thanks for making the trip ❤️❤️
I'm having this problem on my sandstone house. Only on the bottom 2 meter or so. The quotes I'm getting to remove the render are crazy though.
@@mrt5017 removing render needs to be done carefully or you’ll end up with an even bigger problem of blagging all the stone faces behind them. So many folks do this themselves and find out the hard and expensive way that they should’ve got someone in with the right equipment - hope all goes well with it mate

Awesome💪, you got yourself a new subscriber👊
@@justinkalonji8935 appreciate you man
Loved this...
What an absolute boy
I'm currently planning to get a dumper and roller licence in the UK and working in the field for a year then moving into a construction management degree. Do you have any recommendations for me? Do you think this is a good route for someone to get into the construction field?
Don't call it a quote. Call it Pre-construction Services. Sell the value of you working with them to put a realistic budget together based on your experience and ability to flesh out their vision.
@@Mike-dy8bq 100% mate
This was an excellent overview btw - definitely got me interested in your content

Did you post the CDM video you referred to?

@@PaulTinkerMakeMOREprofit thank you
Those costs you listed only works if you aren’t hiring any staff, and even then, it is a stretch.
I think it’s more of what someone defines as a refurb cost. Like of course you’re right those costs need to be included but when someone says refurb costs you assume cost of works and the costs you mentioned I think a lot of people would define them as holding costs. But 5k - 10k refurb is doable. £1500 flooring £1500 decorating £1500 bathroom £1000 Upscale kitchen Obviously there’s a lot of other smaller costs that are involved but between 5k - 10k can easily be done in the NORTH.
@@bailey1104 of course the definition of the word refurb is important and for context I agree. That said - when’s the last time you saw a deal breakdown include - purchase, refurb, holding costs, end value and profit … I don’t think I’ve ever seen that… Holding costs are an intrinsic part of the project as they’re variable and relative to the duration of the project. A quicker project endures less holding costs so wholly variable … £5k refurb (definition aside) is impossible
Well explained the topic as a management professional in my opinion when a new project begins, the manager identifies the group best suited to handle the project.He then breaks down the activity into small parts and assigns each part to the person most suitable to handle it which is site project manager.He let's these leaders know that they are responsible for getting these tasks done nd gives them the the authority to do all that is necessary to complete the task.Project manager assigns them deadlines and go to inspect the Quality control of the project on nd often nd takes the update from site manager to get an idea of the progress of the project.Hence Organizing play's a vital role in Project management in brief in my views.The Controlling function consists of those activities that are undertaken to ensure that the project do not deviate from prearranged plans nd workforce team of technical nd non-technical should follow the execution as per specification in a systematic manner to achieve excellence results of the project.Vry.inspiring nd outstanding lecture nd worth praising.It is also a part of effective management as a overall Perspective.Thanx👍

Hi rajiv, I'm also diving into construction project management and want to know how construction process look like in nepal? day to day activities, planning, organize people
Can we connect in any other social platform???
Groundworks all day long!!
I personally take the cost of materials and at least 30% or more as a non refundable booking fee to allocate time in my diary. If its a really large job I always make sure I'm ahead a little on costs/deposit and use stage payments. However I'm only a one man band tradesperson of small sized projects but with a good rep and online presence the customer holds you accountable that way plus they still have money to pay by the end. I've been dropped before leaving a huge vacuum in my diary to fill and loads of materials which stung. I used to take nothing until they confirmed they were happy when I was finished but this isn't an ideal world. Just as there are bad tradesman there are bad customers. I've works for a builder on a job who got stung. Their client was a Barrister unknown to them he kept getting in new builders, he didn't pay each one, he got the lot for a tiny fraction of the cost leaving them all out of pocket. Once you find out what he does for a living, you seriously going to try fight that as a small builder. tbh when I explain the justifications for doing it they are perfectly fine with it. The key is probably effective communication and I have a detailed survey/quote for a customer to view so they know where there money is going and explain in detail everything. I think that effort alone goes some way to build trust. I try keep the customer up-to-date all the time. I also try to issue a proforma invoice while I'm on the project towards the end which gives the client time to acknowledge whats to be paid and discuss it. They also can't be surprised then. I've never had a call back on my work and they are always happy to pay. Some situations I'll offer a discount but subject to prompt payment and upholding their side of the agreements if there is particular things I need to protect myself against.
For me personally. A deposit depends on each jobs material requirements. Generally if its a lot of moneys worth of gear then I do ask for a deposit or the amount for the materials. I've recently fitted 75 oak sleepers with a 4 meter square oak decking. That was close to 4 grand and the customer happily paid the merchants direct. But I sourced all sand cement screws and bracket. Small jobs I Generally pay. Sometimes thoe just as a mater of trust with a new client I will ask for a deposit. Good video
The developer definately is probably NOT the project manager. The project manager is likely to report to the developer.
Well said
Thank you Paul for these precious tips 🙌
You’re very welcome Laura
Loved the 50 quid training session 🥪 🤣

Hello Sir, My name is Ahsan and I have done MSc Project Management. I want to do small projects with you 🥺. I need these a lot please. I hope you will help me.
Hello mate / you can email me at info@constructiontrainingacademy.com
Hey @ahsannazir4011 What subjects did you study in your Master's program? And where have you completed your master's?
If I may add. During E&P phase the PM need to lead. But during Construction and Commissioning phases the SM is the lead.
