@EatMoreBachmr Some and then typical remodel we found additional issues-which is why ive been okay with the additional timeline, but now we are at the point it just needs to get done and there should be no more 💩

Question for X- if your contractor is 4 months over on a remodel. You did a walk-through with the final handful of small things that need to be completed and asked for a final estimate along with a timeframe. Is it fair to have a penalty clause, if they can’t meet the timeline?
English
@FDGenetics That’s why you hold 10% of his money from each draw. Retainage to make sure he completes.

@KINGS1973 And I like the guys it’s just that this project is taking forever, and some of it too is there’s a lack of contractors and so they have a lot of irons on the fire and multiple projects they’re working on at one time
English
@FDGenetics Is there any reason you can’t just bring somebody else in?
English
@Taco_Expert Yes, the initial completion date that we had discussed. It’s changed multiple times since then just because there were some additions and then some hold ups. That’s why I am wondering if on this final estimate on these finish projects if you could add a strong timeline
English
@KINGS1973 Well, I took about half the stuff off the list because we can do it ourselves. We can honestly finish up the entire thing just not totally in my wheelhouse and I am caving right now and I have tenants that are waiting to get in.

@johnwyl28518495 we are at no means at that point. I just asked for this final estimate to hopefully hold them to a budget and a timeline. Since this round there is not any changes that should occur just finishes.
English
@FDGenetics Did you have changes, was there unforeseen issue. It's best to be happy and move on.

Being right isn't always the best.

They aren’t requiring it, I asked for an estimate. Because there were enough changes and some issues along the way that pushed it above the original estimate from the beginning by right. So just want a strong ballpark of how much more money I’m gonna have to pay before it’s done.
English
@FDGenetics Here’s what I would do from my personal experience with contractors. If they’re going to require payment to just finish up a bunch of small stuff, you’re probably better off bringing somebody else in as long as the work is completed and all the permits are final.

@Kevin17764559 I would’ve definitely considered it on a new build up front, but it was tough on a remodel that was built in the 80s and had no clue what we were getting into
English
@KINGS1973 Yah, I have definitely learned a lot with this project
English
@FDGenetics Hard to add a penalty after the fact. The only way to get a contractor to adhere to any sort of a timeline to stay ahead of them moneywise. The men they feel like their head of you. It becomes a battle. If you don’t owe any money, there’s a good chance you’ll wait forever.

@HaynesMcneill Horrendous drought situation right now…thanks for the prayers❤️
