No Chance

Sir Richard Branson has advertised for a builder to rebuild his luxury Caribbean mansion, which burnt down in a devastating fire last year.

The advert on Building.co.uk says the Virgin tycoon is offering £57 000 a year for a Construction Manager to oversee the build on Necker Island, his £60 million private hideaway.

For 18 months the lucky builder will manage and co-ordinate the construction, with duties including interpreting design and specification and issuing of formal instructions to contractors.  The ad also says the role will require problem solving, dispute resolution and diplomacy.

Can you imagine what the call out charge for the estimate will be?
