The builder didn't want to show the receipt to us.'he said he bought materials by trade and don't have single receipt. I never make a judgement or try to escape anything. We don't know the market price. In my first post, I just ask for a roughly quote for the work. I know every work is...

Only part of the additional work has been done. The work agreed in the original contract hasn't been done neither but the payment is made in full plus 2 more payments on top of this. I made the mistake 3 times that make the payment in advance. I come here to try to get a quote for the...

Thanks for all your replies. Have some updates here. The builder now says the extra money they were asking for are one day offer and since we didn't pay it, it is not valid any more. He says the current work status has used all my original quoted money plus extra payment and he will...

Yes. I'm fine to negotiate the price now but the quote for the additional work is too much more than I expected. That's why I try to get some quotes here.

We didn't specify the details of the work in the beginning and now we are in such a mess. On the contract, it clearly states that any work which is not in the contract, needs to be agreed price and specification before starting. I've asked for some alteration works but they started them...

One thing to say is we have detailed drawing made but it was after the quotation and contract signed. The builder was following the design but they didn't mention the extra cost before start.

Hi Noseall, Thanks for you reply, here are the words from the builder and hope they are useful. New cloakroom: New cloakroom which includes wall extension, additional bricks, cement, insulation, timber, roof tiles, wiring, plaster boarding, door fitting, plastering, plumbing, fitting of...

In the begging, there is no drawing when quote and contract was agreed. We thought this is a small work. Until we had party wall issue, we got an architect did a drawing and at that time, the cloakroom, raised ceiling with skylight are all in the drawing. This was made in last November...

Hello, We have an (1.7 m X 2.4 m) extension project including refiting kitchen and bathroom with one builder. We didn't put adding cloakroom in extension, adding skylight in the quote. The project is half way through but we have made full payment already since the payment was made weekly...
