Avoid Customers who already have bought materials for your job

What happens here

Be cautious when dealing with customers who insist on providing their own materials (e.g., electrical wire purchased from a hardware store). These clients are often attempting to cut costs and will likely try to negotiate for the cheapest labor possible. While it may be acceptable if you can still secure your full, desired rate, it's often a red flag indicating a focus on cost-cutting over quality or fair compensation.

Goal: Maintain control over material sourcing and avoid clients seeking to excessively cut costs
