July 25, 20224 yr Hi all, Interesting one this... We separated stonework into an 'extra' line item that would be quoted and agreed post-project start Our design calls for stone coping (on roof of ground floor rear + side extension), sills and a portico, and we were looking to use natural stone matching across all 3 elements Our MC doesn't want to work with a supplier he doesn't know, and doesn't have a natural stone supplier Building will be 3 floors, lots of windows and need to use scaffold So - what's the best way to handle this one ? Option 1: Should we bring in our own contractor to supply + fit all stone elements ? Option 2: Should we supply the sills to our MC (who will fit them), and then we take care of the coping and portico ourselves later on ? Option 3: Something else ? Advice gratefully received !
July 25, 20224 yr If your main contractor doesn't have the necessary resource 'in-house', then I think he needs to do whatever it takes to help you deliver your project. Sounds like the requirement has been pretty clear from the outset. What's his proposed solution?
