As stated re-negotiate the retention (RISElectrical's percentages look good) before going any further. If temp supply wasn't in the original quote tell them it's extra and makesure your paid before starting the bigger job.
I use a similar breakdown as cbw for bigger job's so at least material costs are always covered.
I'd never give test records out before full payment is recieved again.
Another thing to look out for in future (as it's a property developer) is the promise of "i can make full payment when the property is sold....i'll need the test cert's to sell the place".....i was caught out by this (to my shame) end of last year and i'm still waiting for the final payment (with no cert's to barter with).
