We came in as sharp as we possibly could to make it more attractive to the client.” As soon as SJP Builders signed the contract, a year before construction began in January 2022, Scott put in his orders for gib, windows, roof, and cladding, mindful of lengthy lead times. Still the cladding took an additional six months to arrive, and Scott had to think on his feet to keep the project moving. “I called all of my suppliers to grab a bit of cladding. I could only get short lengths, but was able to use these around the windows while we waited for our order to arrive. “I kept my communication up and my clients were very understanding, and my suppliers were very helpful in these tough times.”
