Thought much the same as you - the prof is being a tad unreasonable. 6 blokes to do all that work? And to work outside their specialisms? How inauthentic is that? :face-stir:
Must admit, my first thought when I read about it was "This isn't original, they did this at Butser a few years back" (though to be fair that wasn't with professional builders). My second thought was "I hope they've sorted the archaeology first" (Having worked at Wroxeter way back in the dim & distant).
The builders are a nice enough bunch, the prof is going to be a major irritant.

You can always tell a Brummie... but you can't tell him much
