Builder asking for more money

2 replies

Has anyone been in a situation before when a builder has asked for more money when on a fixed quote contract?! What did you do?!

It seems my builder has over spent and is asking for almost 20%(!) of the cost of the original quote as an additional payment. He has said that as it stands, he can't afford to finish the build. I have been happy to pay for things in addition to the work that was quoted, but I'm a bit dumfounded about this additional extra payment.... that we can not afford to pay.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Does anyone know what our rights are? As I understand it, the quote was a fixed price quote, and therefore, legally, we do not have to pay.

Thank you.

What have they overspent on? Guess it depends on what was included in the original quote and whether you have made changes which have increased the overall cost.

Do you have a contract and are they able to show you what they’ve overspent on?
