We look forward to your next post to say you got the contract.
You did the right thing - for that you get to at least have a good nights sleep without the stress of if / when it's going to bite you in the ass.

Watching the ships passing by.
from experience...unles they can give you a bill of quantities...tell them to shove it where it fits best...next thing they will tell you payment is only on completion....then you know you are in for a thrashing...which ethinic group is asking for the quote...that would also help me make my decision...if it is the one i am thinking it might be...i wouldnt even consider it if 100 % upfront payment was offered...been burnt tooo many times.
a heads up on another scam i almost fell for yesterday...got a call from a fella...wanted me to sort out a breakdown on his equiment and wanted a responce time...said 15 minutes...10 minutes later he calls me with an arm full of excuses...about how his manager had not advised him that he had called someones else and they were already on site to attend to the problem...advised him that in future a call out fee must be paid upfront...will never have to waste time with him in the future...been doing this for almost 22 years now heard them all...like the cheques in the post...internets down...boss who logs onto internet banking is away for a couple days...and i didnt reliase my manager had called someone else...all go in the same bullshit catergories...so new customers...advise them that theree is a call out fee...before hand and they will learn not to try this scam with you.
Well Murdock,
At least he phoned you to say that he had someone else. What if you pitched on site to do the breakdown, having left what you were doing, and was presented with the some verbal diarrhea.

We got the contractOriginally Posted by daveob
Well, nearly all of it - we've had a glitch getting a quote in for the heat pump project.
But the rest is signed and sealed.
Is there anyone out there who does big heat pump installations?
