R & S Construction Management SVC LLC

Surprisingly well considering my house is about 50 yrs old..they took everything in stride when my things came up that they were not expecting.. like floor joists that didn't meet up when they tore down the wall. but they fixed them. I had used them before to build a sun room and i will use them again to do a make over of my bathroom and laundry room.

Sept 26th: A contract was written, agreed and sign by both parties. Week 1. Sept 28th, R&S Construction started work without a Building Permit and without having our Fire Mashall Review Letter handy. (inside is our stamped and approval of our building layout that our architect design). R&S seems unprepared and incapable of starting the job properly. Week 2. Oct 3, Minor adjustment was made to the frame work. R&S charge us an extra $800 for minor changes. Oct 5th, We got an email stating R&S is unable to pull a building permit due to liability of other subcontractors. Unless, we meet their conditions for extra payments of taxes and insurance, and the cost of using their electrician. A bill of $6000 more. Thus exceeded our budget agreement. Oct 6th, I made a phone call to his business partner (Who is more informed). He explained why they are not able to pull the business permit due to liability. In reply, I do understand this situation, but a contract was written, agreed, and sign by both parties. Shortly after hanging up, the owner of R&S called and was angry. He was ready to terminate the contract and threaten to send us another invoice for default. Oct. 12th, After a couple of emails of trying to get together to discuss the matter, we finally met up in week 3 to discuss out options. Option 1. Continue work based on R&S change order of $6000 more. Option 2. Terminate Contract. We couldn't afford the new price and conditions so we both agreed to terminate. Oct 14th, Two days later we received another invoice of almost $9000. Where did this $9000 come from? Supervision fees (really!@?), dumpsters, (there was a community dumpster they could of use) ETF... R&S was paid more than enough for the first week, and now they are attempting to get more money from us. We are currently seeking legal help. This should never be a situation for anyone. If R&S was confident in their work, this argument over obtaining a building permit should never happen. If so, it should be address at the time of Contract, and never in the middle of work week. This delayed our project and other subcontractors to finish their job.
