Ok, im so stressed right now because of the underpinning and concrete pads in this current project we’re working on. Basically, I have hired a Groundworker company to undertake the underpinning and 2 concrete pads. I gave them the drawing and everything , agreed the measurements of the holes and eventually they dug them out, put mesh and poured the concrete. Now, this is where the problem begins. They poured the concrete without getting inspected by the BCO. The Groundworker forwarded me the images with tape measures (just for underpinning but none for concrete pads). I then forwarded the photos to the inspector and she then got back to me saying she needed to inspect the holes prior to pouring of the concrete. 😱😱😱😱 I then informed the ground worker about the reply and he’s not having it. He wants the payment. I told him I won’t be paying you for the job that needs redoing. He said you should understand that I paid materials and people.
I made it clear to him that I won’t be paying him and worse case scenario is get a refund for my deposit.
can someone please tell me what my stand on this?
thanks
