Yes, a golden rule, never be rushed, you will always loose more money that you make, I used to work for a company who would only give you one job at a time so you did not rush, when that was done they would give you another, as long as you had your hours covered, no problem, they would loose jobs rather than load you up, you could not take the pi## though, can not imagine that happening today
But you do not get paid for go backs from most companies or customers now, so it pays to do the checks
As I mentioned the other day, the job that goes wrong when you are rushing is always the furthest or most inconvenient to get back to
Remember you can be late, just let the customer involved know, give them a ring, keep them informed, what gets peoples backs up, including me and probably you is waiting around not knowing what is happening, especially when they probably have heard all the stories about tradesmen not turning up.
As a friend use to say,its ok to be late ,it gives the customer more time to find his cheque book
