After completing work, can my contractor add overhead charges to the materials charge on the bill?
Q. The work contract includes labor, materials, tax charges. The actual receipts for materials are less than half the estimate in contract. He says he can include overhead charges to the materials charge. Do I have to pay for materials not used? Can he substitute overhead for material charges not used?
Asked by Anne B - Fri Jan 25 18:59:04 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. He can do whatever the contract allows him to do. If there was an estimate established in the contract he can charge you that, and no more than that.
