The response I posted earlier in this thread wasn't 100% "yes, you WILL be covered" - it will always depend on a number of factors, eg who signed the variation on behalf of the builder - was it the temporary receptionist or the CEO of the building company etc? And I agree that you should always keep a written record of all conversations, where necessary send to the builder an email confirming the details of important conversations and asking them to confirm that they have the same understanding of conversations etc. This is regardless of how good a relationship you have with your builder - as things can change quickly. We have kept a running journal of when things have happened on the site, as well as conversations etc with the front office and the building supervisor about issues on site. On one occasion this has saved us a fair amount of money and heartache as we have been able to dredge up the email conversation setting out everyone's understanding of the event (when the construction supervisor had since left the company). You talk about deletions, are they variations or PS and PC adjustments? pleas list them 1 16571 https://form.jotform.com/240284569218058 Please spare a moment to fill out this survey form for a project.
