[QUOTE="Obi-Wan, post: 396640, member: 709"] Contracts are usually amended for only a few reason. #1 - the owner adds to the project. #2 - Unforeseen circumstances. #3 - the architect fucked something up for which the contractor did not bid. I have been doing this going on 40 years and have never had a contact amended on our request because something we missed in the our bid or ran over our budget. That last few years with material prices fluctuating day by day it has been very difficult to come in within the material budget. We have ordered and stored materials for months to try to keep within budget but with many items this is not possible. While we have not passed these cost onto our customers some of our subcontractors and suppliers have put this or similar into their proposals. [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]NOTE: Due to the fluctuations of commodity prices (Copper/Aluminum, Steel, and Resin) and availability of materials. Pricing IS subject to change.[/COLOR] Who should cover increase if the materials for a project costs more when needed than the quoted price? [/QUOTE]
