We have been working a Villa remodel along with another cab man, and his brother an electrician. Stone men and flooring guys. Working through a Designer. We basically are doing paint. I have also done some electrical work and plumbing there. My quandary is this.
First off I estimated a paint job. Scheduled a 7 day time frame for this. And because of the electrician and some other changes this turned into more like 3 weeks. 15 work days that is. Anyway I have no problem with the paint we did it, a bit over budget but thats fine.
There were extras done like plumbing, whole patches and such that I did as T/M and billed the client. They questioned the bill and I explained all charges. They paid me.
Now there are more holes in the place caused by the electrician misplacing them for cans, and the stone men damaged some walls bringing in the counters, they need to be patched. I was asked by the designer to "give them a break" on the repairs. It was stated by the designer that they have paid me well and on time. Is this not the normal was to do things? I don't see this as a reason to give them a break on this.
I will give them a break on the repairs as that is just me, and I am that way. But I want to get my point across to this designer and don't want to be unprofessional about it. If someone would like to read my response I will e-mail it to them for comment that I would really appreciate. I don't want to post this in public as I know these posts last forever.
Thanks for listening and hopefully helping.
