[SV650rules]

I was always told that any builder or supplier that expected full payment in advance was not to be trusted, when we had an extension built I made sure that money would only change hands after local council inspectors had passed off the work ( stage payments) - any reputable company would be happy with this. I don't see why payment on completion is such a problem for a big company - definitely worth haggling about - it is normally only a problem for shonky companies who do bad work - the famous building company 'Bodgit and Scarper' springs to mind..
