Afternoon All,

I have just been removed from a job via email. Everything was going fine etc etc They have alternative contractors in and I have not been given a chance to rectify anything. They have refused to pay my invoice.

Can anyone recommend some links to some online resources? Preferably not in Legalese and preferably themed towards the construction industry.

Many thanks,

Jerry

I don't want to particularly air my dirty laundry in public but it came down to me not being there exactly when they wanted. It came out of the blue. I have a lot of time and materials lost.

Good luck but it’s going to be a long process and they will say they have had increased costs due to you not being onsite etc

did you get everything in writing / emails start dates and estimated finished dates ?

Of course not! They already delayed the job 3 times on me but i guess that means nothing.
