Any builders/maintainers care to share your thoughts on working for friends or family vs your standard customers?

I feel like producing for friends and family is ideal in a way, but it makes the tough conversations that are sometimes needed more difficult.

I finished a small landing+stairs for a lady I have known most of my life. It went pretty smoothly, but the whole time I was fearing some hiccup I’d have to communicate and/or upcharge… which I’ve had to do in the past.

Yeah it's a challenge usually - but if you can cover the costs then labour can be under-charged. Depends on who you're dealing with really.

At the end of the day true business is about relationships -

Good work on those stairs too.

Haha they’re overbuilt I promise… another thing you do for friends. “Industry standard” def doesn’t cut it
