Openly admitting to saving money by doing the design "himself", when what he actually means is getting advice from experts, to be able to treat a qualified guy as basically a semi-skilled labourer.

I have no problem with giving advice, but giving detailed design/engineering/planning information to people like him leads to our profession becoming devalued IMO... I know the information is out there, and anyone can buy textbooks and standards documents and even the CIBSE design guides but they all take effort to understand. Effort that we (and presumably his plumber) have all put in, and people like this expect us to hand it all to him on a plate...

Feeling very bitter and cynical this morning, can you tell?

Funnily I thought the same when his "project" started. I don't mind offering "help" but he's actually wanting a full on step by step design carrying out. I bet he's not spent a penny on design but because he's polite and friendly he's easing his way through the whole project with our guidance.

Bet he has a well paid job with plenty of perks and large pension.

Probably a Barclay's banker!

Probably a Barclay's banker!

:smile: Yes, probably something that rhymes with that

His recent posts are very presumptuous that we're just going to do the donkey work for him. I was wondering if he was a wind up but I do think he's serious

Hes a engineer, come on guys

The world is made up of guys like this. Every time I answer the phone I try to suss out if Im actually going to make any money out of it.
It seems more and more people want it free, or cheap.
