We are working with a local public body / council, and there is no official form of contract as its maintenance tasks we are doing on some cliff faces to minimise rock falls. So we are signed up to a basic set of terms and conditions, that any goods or service supplier would be signed up to, its fairly vague and has minimal detail in it.
We have 22 sections to complete over 8 weeks, and each section is a lump sum. However the consultant is consistantly removing sections that we have monies against, is there ever a consequence of doing this? I understand people will say, “but you wont have any cost”, but i had allocated the likes of management, supervision, insurance and so on across all 22 sections, and by sections being removed, we now don’t have enough coming in to cover overheads, as these are more or less the same, even with sections removed and the time doesn’t affect the job enough for there to be a saving.
Any advice here would be appreciated…
Thanks
