Hi Geordie,
That is what I am thinking, I will have to unveil whats happening with the customer if I am forced to... However that would be a declaration of war mate, think about it... it could make my chances of getting something back slimmer...
Anyway, I have been speaking with the other subs, plumbers and builders, and the conclusion was going easy and playing the game like everything was wonderland, and try get the money for one contract at the time, holding the certificates and the jobs with the others... I also was surprised to know that all the other subs are on the hook too:hanged:...
In the end of the day, I was a bit greedy, I shouldn't ever have started so many projects in once with them...
For now on I will stick with the following:
ONLY Start a new project once you get the last one paid, or least 50% of it.
Get 50% in the beginning of the jobs, extras and the other 50% can be later.
Sign a contract, no matter how small or big the job is, and include terms and conditions.
Get some kind insurance for this purpose, if there is any.
I will keep you folks posted as a warning for others sparks, but If I am lucky this will be rolling for a good 6 months or more... I will have to be patient.
