If the margins are that tight on 4 houses per site your looking to make a saving on skimming then your doing something drastically wrong imo

To be honest, I enjoy decorating so much and have become very efficient at it, and have saved 1000s by doing it myself. That said, it took me over a year to truly perfect it. But I was not
a developer at that point so it wasn't like I was learning on the job. Plastering I would be learning on the job and I could potentially cause massive delays and problems. But it doesn't seem that dissimilar to decorating, except the prep work before skimming and the finishing off procedure.
