So far everyone i have rang has been prepared to deal for cash and without having to pay deposits and payment terms generally 30 days after recepit of invoice.
This morning i met with the concrete block supplier he required €1000 deposit to set up the account. I am still looking for a sand supplier in the locality as the ones i have spoken to are quite expensive. Hoping to have sand and blocks on site for tomorrow.
I have also gotten a shipping container to leave on site for 14 months or whatever the duration maybe for security and allow us to store materials. I have bought the container for €1,300 and €400 delivery cash hopefully will sell it on for €1,000 when it has its work done. Will be invaluable for that bit of security.
Must put up some of the securi panels as a front gate for the time being, more stone arriving on site today for driveway and access to garage and as a base to put the sand on. Id say we will have to hire a water pump also as we have a lot of water in the foundations.

Jollyman I know what you are saying but I guess that the block suppliers cant be 2 careful nowadays especially with the mast quantities they supply. Being a QS did u say I’m sure u agree. On the container you are right that bit of security is worth it and those containers don’t devalue much over a year or 2. thanks for this blog its very helpful I’d even subscribe to it for this information and advise very handy for anyone like myself wishing to build a house
Ah i had no problem giving them the money, but i deal with them every day here at work currently have a contract running with them in the region of €500k but i guess i dont lokk trustworthy!!!!
We have not drawn down any of the mortgage yet so we are financing out of our own pocket at the moment. He did me a good deal on the blocks so i cant complain!
Ya the cabin will be useful there is nothing on site yet but i have seen four different people walking in and around there lately.
