Streetwise Subbie | Help for Construction and Engineering Sub- Contractors. Dear Streetwise On a recent contract, the Contractors Contract manager agreed to provide some minor items of hired in plant and I agreed that they could deduct the cost from the final account. They duly provided copy invoices, with which I am in full agreement, but the QS has also added a 2. I mark up anything I provide, so can he. Can he do this? Should he be doing this? The QS has also said that he will only release my final payment if and when I send him a credit for the full amount, including the 2. I have so far only sent him a credit for the nett amount + VAT. The Contract Manager has confirmed over the phone today, that he agreed to provide the plant at nett cost, but he has since left the Contractor. The 2. 0% only amounts to a couple of hundred quid and the final payment is about £1. K, but the phrase "thin end of the wedge" comes to mind. The QS is a blustering, unpopular bully (you probably wont be too surprised to hear!), who I dont get on with. He had to agree in advance to some accelleration costs, to get us to accelerate at very short notice and now says that as I "held him to ransom, its payback time." I should point out that he passed the acceleration costs onto the client and didnt have to stand them himself! Your opinion and advice will be most welcome, even if its not the answer I want!
