I have recently, very unfortunately, signed up with Edgeline Planners. Their designs are good initially and prices generally on the high side. But, I was under the impression they are a good workmanship firm and appears to be fair in their business dealings (prior to signing the contract) - I signed up with them. After the contract was signed, they started to say the quotation presented was not what was really proposed to us. To achieve the full design intent, we have to pay for more money for more stuffs. Any variation orders that is outside the contract scope cost a big bomb, and disproportionately much more expensive than what is originally quoted in the contract for similar items. I am just wondering what options I have now. Going to third parties contractors for additional VO items are possible but it would be (i) liasing with third parties separately, (ii) creating avenues for Edgeline to further dispute any defects in future since there are third parties involved now, (iii) potential mismatch in design since we will be getting third party contractors involved. Suggestions and comments most welcomed.
