Hello everyone. If you had time please could you give me your thoughts on this business idea!
I am a surveyor and currently have 10yrs + running my own construction and interior design business in the SE of England and London.
Given the building industry is so notorious with great potential for things to go wrong, I have over the years had no shortage of requests for advice on the build and refurbishment process.
In short I planned to offer the following
• Simple online bible or crib sheet taking the best bits of all the information that are currently available online, summarising it into easy to read sections and offering it online for people to download and read.
For a cost we would also the offer the following
• Directories with recommended suppliers for fixtures and fitting at the lowest genuine wholesale prices guaranteeing savings to the general public
• Hand holding service - If you were undertaking a refurbishment we would be available by phone or email to answer any questions that arise during the process. Queries would be dealt with by specialists in the field
• Templates and checklists to help with all aspects of the process
• Directory of architects, contractors, surveyors, building control officers, engineers showing feedback and also allowing quotes to be obtained all in one place
• Access to online simple project management tools allowing efficient management of your project
Would you, as possible target audience pay a monthly fee for a service like this?
