Added on June 1, 2012, 3:53 pmContractors are like that:
Stage one. Quotation. everything is possible whatever you want even discount. Very polite, very professional, amicable, call you often and when you call him for appointment, he will be there.
Stage 2: Once you agreed to give him the job. Before you get thing signed, cemnet, brick, wood, etc will be delivered to your house almost immediately. Signing can come later as far as they are concerned. No first payment deposit.
Stage 3. Commence work next day no delay whatsoever. Called you he has completed something and want you to verified if you are happy and if it is according to what you want. Want to make changes, no problem.
Stage 4. Tell you that you have not paid him the deposit, or no, it is he forgot to ask you for the money. You paid, work continue as you would like it to be.
Stage 5. You pay more money according to schedule
Stage 6.Disappered for few days, you called he comes and said need money just to buy material though that stage has not completed because just paid salary to workers, you pay otherwise no material how to continue?
Stage 7. All changes you request needed to be paid and no nego. You paid because you have no choice.
Stage 8. Disappear for days and you call will come next day but only for one day. You are stuck. Your weakness now show, you got no say and this is the time he make his demands. The table turned now against you. You have to pleased him otherwise he will work on other sites and your house has to wait, this include advance payment.

100% Support, my contractor also has the same behavior... really disappear for few days in the 50% stage and keep asking for payment but I told him that I will pay if he deliver according to the progress. But still, the job has been delayed for 3 weeks ++. Today, he promised will get it done by next week and return my key. Let's see ....Added on June 1, 2012, 3:53 pmContractors are like that:
