Builders notes for Glasgow
Glasgow homeowners can post trade jobs for free while Lead & Trade builds the local founding network across Strathclyde. Add clear photos, access notes and timing details so suitable trades can judge the job without seeing your private contact details first.
For structural work, ask who is responsible for calculations, building control and staged inspections.
A good building quote should break down labour, materials, waste, access and payment stages.
For renovations, list any hidden issues you already know about, such as damp, old wiring or uneven floors.
Avoid vague scopes on larger projects. A written schedule helps compare quotes fairly.
