A bit of advice please

Hi all,Just looking for a bit of advice. Really at the moment I'm trying to build a good maintenance round-fortnightly. I've good clients but want to build it up to 2full weeks so to get a full time team on the road really. As business is picking up, I'm being asked to quote for build jobs which is good but not exactly my route at the minute. Do I quote for the work & if I get them, do them or do I say no sorry at present I'm not quoting for this work. Was thinking of quoting with the chance of doing it in winter but not really an option as people not really willing to wait. Any thoughts. I'd appreciate it. Cheers. Darragh

    Just say no unless you can sub it out and take a small fee from your subby. I find regular maintenance clients will wait for landscaping work but usually one off customers wont. I stopped doing any hard landscaping because I could not find the time to do it without it affecting my maintenance. I am on my own though.

  • 4 jobs to look at today. 2 build jobs & 2 big cleaning/maintenance jobs. Got 2 maintenance jobs there n then n up against 5 people on build job. I'm in a dilemma. Really want to concentrate Building up regular maintenance clients but do u refuse build jobs?
