Hi all,
I had a local vendor quote an automation and controls job for me.
I liked his price, and gave him my credit card # to get purchased items ordered.
7 weeks later, the job is complete and I get an e-mail saying that the job took longer than they thought and they will be sending a revised quote. I get a new quote After the job is completedwith a 72% increase in the original quoted price that I agreed to.
There is a clause in the original quote that says "If engineering issues are uncovered it MAY cause the quote to be revised.", but the only issues were at their end. I did not change anything.
They are now holding my completed device hostage until I pay the extra money.
Is this standard practice with control and automation jobs, or do I need to get an attorney to look into this?
Thanks
