Changes In Contract Agreement
I have a contract to paint a housing development for a customer. Though it was not explicitly stated in the agreement it was understand that the terms of payment were on a building by building basis. I would be the last contractor in to complete painting, receive final payment for completed work on forthnightly valuations and retentions paid after 1 month.
The situation has now changed where they want me to work on a phased basis because of other contractor issues which now requires me to revisit each building at least twice and this I know will impact on my costs. It also affects when retensions are paid since completion times are much longer. My questions are, am I obligated to agree to this change as it was not spelt out in the agreement? What are my options? Additional billing is out of the question at this time. |

Re: Changes In Contract Agreement
What was "explicitly stated" in your contract, not "understood"?

Re: Changes In Contract AgreementQuote:
in my contracts it states "any changes or variations from the original contract will require a new contract"....not my exact wording, but you get the point. charging more is the only option in my eyes, seems like you didn't cover your butt
