I talked with a Civil Engineer Firm in Colorado Springs this past April about a commercial project we are interested in doing. They quoted me $27,000 to $30,000 to do the complete Civil Engineering. They said as part of that cost they would do the conceptual part by the hour. We said to proceed, they racked up $4500 of conceptual time and then changed their bid to between $42,000 up to $73,000. The last time they did anything was in July 2019. I have emailed them and talked with them about how they have misled, misrepresented, and actually lied to me. I have paid them $1,000 but I think they need to discount the remaining $3500 since the only reason we had them do the conceptual was because of their original verbal quote. We are not even using the conceptual as we have had to hire an other firm to do everything. They are now threatening to lien the property. What is your advice? Thank you, Brooks
