Included in the fixed site cost was an allowance for render. When i asked why it was not done, i was told that things can change during the build. "He has stated that the fixed costs spreadsheet changes many times over the journey as these are internal documents. Fixed cost is fixed and that we do not request further payment for items we put in or complete that are not in this spreadsheet." I do understand the concept of fixed site costs. It just sucks knowing they can put things in the calculation and could go away with it. Im so over dealing with them. You cannot win.

Do you have anything in writing that states the render was part of the site cost? Yes i have cassie. The gen mgr's excuse now is something could happen along the way and there are things that they will do and not do that is in the spreadsheet. I went back and say that is plain dishonesty. Why would you put something as part of the scope and part of the calculation when you have no intention of doing? I am not expecting anything from them anymore. You are right though. I was happy with them until they did that cut on the bricks. We were planning to render it down the line as i still feel bad about it, sort of a band aid. Just imagine how i felt when i found out i already paid for the rendering! Double jeopardy.
