The meeting today unfolded very differently from my expectations; firstly, he apologized for the poor workmanship to date and admitted he was to blame for many of the issues. This marks the first time he has ever admitted fault, and said he has left one guy go.
He began by stating, "This is not the standard of my work," and mentioned that he spent yesterday reconciling, revealing that we are currently around £2,800 over budget. HOWEVER, we are still awaiting the arrival of the front doors, which is the major obstacle preventing us from moving in. They were supposed to arrive yesterday, but nothing has come yet. He apologized for the delay and claimed to have ordered PVC (although we doubt the truth of this claim). He expressed willingness to complete the project, waive all apparent over-budget costs, and arrange for new composite doors along with a new timeframe. Plus getting the bathroom complete and juilet balcony in by end of play next week. (Again we are optimistic)
The meeting went well, he is doing the bathroom as we speak and doing snagging etc. We left the meeting on
fairly resonable good terms compared to the huge shouting matches of late.
30 minutes later, i get a phone call can a couple come round to look at the house as a reference
