New build 2nd fix after original contractor gone AWOL

[Bellendian]

As the title really....been asked to 2nd fix a couple of new builds....original contractor no longer available, I don't know why. 1st fix completed, everything plastered up...
Somehow these houses need to be completed, but I'm not signing an EIC stating that I've first fixed when I haven't...
This must come up all the time, so I guess their must be a workable solution that keeps everyone happy?

Cheers

Although I am able to do third party sign off with Stroma...I got involved in second fix and testing on an extension and it turned out to be a nightmare. I think the bottom line is if I haven't done the first fix or personally supervised it, don't do that ever again! Quite a bit of two way switching, in the lounge (30 sq. m) and the builders had forgot to cut out box for switch on two two way strappers and switch wire had to fit box and fish them out of rockwool. Supply taken from switched rose in lounge to the next room. New supply cable had to be put in they had to lift part of the roof to get the cable in. Wrong switch wire in kitchen/dining room (should have been in lounge on two way switching again!) It was a nightmare sorting it out and figuring out what was going wrong and putting it right YOU CAN BE PROFESSIONAL UPTO THIS POINT ITS THE NEXT BITwhile the builders were suggesting it was my fault. Never again. If I am not in at the beginning forget it.
Oh yes and in the bathroom five cables in two places supposed to be going into lights (no way) had to cut hole in ceiling and wago them and drop down one cable and so on!

Ah I thought you were suggesting I look at some comment above mine but presumably you meant this to the OP?
EDIT: Just seen it now

You got to the point of saying about the wiring and putting it right I typed in CAPS you can be professional up to that point meaning although A.P.I.T.A. being a competent electrician you can sort it out what the turning point in the next sentence is where you get the blame as if its your fault and become the villain.

First contractor not available ................ probably owed lots of money ....

Don't get involved

Cheers, I put a price in, plus plenty of caveats....not sure the builder liked the caveats...or the price! So looks like I dodged a bullet. Apparently another guy is doing it cheaper, and is also going to issue full EIC. Good luck to him, but not something I would do.

best way. a high price means that if you get it, you'r e quids in, if not, you've no redress if it goes ---- up. either way a winner.
