Hi, I installed 10k ft of gutters in Fort Lee defense suply center in Richmond Virginia. Finished few days ago. The scope of work wasnt work that good and we made few changues with the goverment ingenier who was ther but nothing was in paper, just words. At the moment we decide to do few things diferent from the scope of work there where four peoples, the goverment ingenier, quality control person from the company subcontracted me and the superintendent of the job. The guy from goverment ask to the gutter look straight, i told to do that gutters will acumulate water in some points, he say is ok.

I work like subcontractor in this project, supply windows and doors. In the terms and the payment I should receive final. 25% after delivery. The GC asked me can I start installation because he got some issue with owner, so it’s really help him to collect the payments. Fortunately, it’s not happen. He pay me from the window door portion only 10,000. From 39,000. I just try to show him good faith, and almost finalize installation, that not include our original contract for windows doors. Date of the delivery for windows doors. 2/15 /2023. Last day for installation. 03/26/2023. Please let me know....Read More
