    Builder looking to learn more

    EIC customer or builders details

    I normally notify the job with the customers details. However the builder I work for has had a falling out with the customer due to matters not related to my work, and has said the EIC and notifying of the job is to be in his name. Is this allowed? Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk
