Another sign that customers are probably keeping their feet still at the moment. Inquiry for a conservatory: on-site consultation appointment for next week and the offer already came right after the call. With 15% discount. Well, they probably added 20% before, but still...
Something similar just now with us.
We are currently commissioning the outdoor area (terrace, driveway, etc.)
We have also already found the trusted craftsman.
So far, it was always difficult when something was delayed with us due to material shortages or absences. One week delay for us always meant 4 weeks delay in execution because his order book was full.
Today he called saying he could start immediately. But we will only have all materials together at the beginning of next week. That’s no problem for him either. And if it’s a few days later: also okay. :oops:
Maybe it’s just a snapshot and because customers also have holiday time. And also absolutely not representative.
But it fits the picture. In uncertain times, you can also do without outdoor areas for now. Especially if you, like 99% here, just want to pimp them and don’t have to completely redo them.
