I have started to put a clause in my contracts stating 'Plumber is to supply all fixtures'
this builder has no control of his jobs and is letting the homeowners dictate more than they should...he has 2 problem jobs right now
this current customer started out suppling their own kitchen sink and it moved onto the laundry sink....then it was the powder room sink....and now its the powder room faucet...its my markup im losing....which is part of my profit......when he called about the faucet i first said 'i will not install the faucet'....then after some time i backed down.....im still angry...the homeowner knows my rules and so does the builder....they dont care...
im either going to raise my prices dramatically or not work with him again...
im considering adding the lost markup onto the fixture allowance.
any suggestions?....ive been paid up to date on this job, so i think i should have stuck to my guns and said that someone else will install the faucet and also get the permit for it. since they are ignoring my contract i could ignore it too and walk away...the money for the finish isnt much.
