keen quote

[bigbaddave]

Been to quote for kitchen Rewire nowt fancy but its a bungalow concrete floors. Etc. anyway I give them keen price as it was empty And well a doddle. Well turns up to start 3 months later and not only is it now a dorma but its carpeted and fully decorated. Don't you love customers that project manage there own jobs to save money.

The builder did the work upstairs as he incorporated it in the quote..

How long are your quotes valid for. Mine say 30 days!

Depends on the job and customer to be fair but do have a disclaimer on written quotes that 30 days as a get out clause.. I mean this was very little materials and a family friends therefore just thought **** it.... Oh Well..

Im not too fussed about the fact i will get paid its just so annoying that they have done there own planning of the whole builds to save money which has done exactly the opposite on this accasion. Oh well.

double the price. no matter how long the original quote is valid for, it's now worthless as the situation has changed. a bit like quoting £30 to fetch a round of drinks on the titanic. fine while it was afloat, but at 12,500 ft. below the sea, ain't going to the bar for £30 any more.
