Aibu to ask for the magic words to make builders turn up?

[Indecisivelurcher]

What are the magic words to make builders turn up?!! 2.5 weeks into a 4-6wk project, we've had 5 days work done so far... I know they will be doing multiple projects at once, so am I actually being unreasonable to want them to turn up here every day?! I don't want to be a total dick head, or a push over...

Easy:

"I'll give you an extra 5K if you get the job completed before the deadline."

Builders go wherever the cash is.

Do people actually do that??

Maybe try luring them with cake? But I'm not sure about this species. Might do

Building supplies are very very thin on the ground right now

I have zero postcrete and cement. No mixing paddles, even builders buckets are in short supply

It's been this way for a few months now so all supplies are running down fast
