Question for UK tradesman or builder

Presumably that's the premium you pay for having them manage the other tradies. If it's really true that hiring them all individually is so much cheaper and you have the time and ability to manage the project then you could save yourself some cash.

Well there are a few other reasons why the builder can charge more. His subcontractors are the tradesman and they're available to him at short notice due to their relationships whereas on my own I'd have to find the individual tradesman and it's quite difficult to do that.

Builders make a markup on materials as well as a markup on their subcontractors - I'm just surprised it's so much.

I am intending to try to do it myself with tradesman if possible
