Hi
We are working through a quote with a builder and due to the increase in costs we have had some items deleted from the base price: reduced alfresco and porch.
When we were initially given the quote just before Easter the credit included the margin.
Last week we received an updated quote and the margin for the credit has been taken out.
We have a base price which includes the margin and to delete any item off the base price we are told we do not get back the margin anymore.
Just wondering if this is normal practice. In the quote we are charged for additional fees so we don't think its related to any admin costs and we have not yet signed a contract so its not a variation.
We just feel sad that while we are trying to bring the build cost to a level we can proceed, we are not getting full amount back as we had hoped.
We understand there are overheads and margins need to be applied and happy to do so. Not sure what the normal practice is surrounding credits?
