Report
If they build like they drive, I wouldn't expect anything they build to hold up for more than a week. Aggressive driving, speeding, cutting others off, using turning lanes to go straight just because it's quicker, overtaking stupidly a Buxton Construction white van is a guarantee of a poor driver, and of being harassed when you flash them or honk them. If that's how they drive, I'll be sure to start a building company myself if they were the last builders in the country.

At this point there also remains a significant amount of snagging work. Do yourselves a favour and find
