Wanna Do Business?

We're making slow progress, but not for want of trying.

RRA are finding that because this is a new type of build (aiming at Passiv House standards) there is alot of research to do. This is not a problem in itself, but to get an idea of what will work (technically and cost-wise), we need suppliers to give us quotes.

Until yesterday we had been unable to get even one quote for windows. What is going on? Don't people want to do business?!

We have one quote now for windows (Internorm Windows through TradePlas - thank you guys...) which comes in below our cost plan budget. This is especially good news as I am told that Internorm windows tend to be on the pricey side.

We still have only one quote for MVHR and chasing quotes on wood burners, PV and solar and on various other items has proved extremely arduous. What is going on: you'd think the building sector was booming.
