I have over 30 years experience in the building trade mostly joinery, windows, doors and conservatories, i have trained many apprentices throughout my career and would like to help up and coming window fitters and joiners excel with advise on career paths and pass on any technical advise where needed. There many pitfalls when starting off in a career in construction including paying tax, what is best for your situation and if you should partake in sub-contracting, many things you do not learn in a classic classroom and the side of construction that does not get explained sometimes, all these things will prove invaluable if you are to go on and make a success in the construction industry.
There is a very profitable living to be made from say the installation of double glazing and doors but without the correct approach and knowing the down sides as well as the ups it can quickly turn into the company being the only one making a good profit from your quality work.
