[QUOTE="Murdoch, post: 494928, member: 24445"] Well ............ I talk to the client about unexpected issues and the cost implications before I send an estimate With fuseboard changes , I include the following caveat: "NB: If problems are detected during the fuseboard change additional work may be required. Such issues and associated costs will be discussed with you, prior to being implemented" Never been challenged on it and on the rare occasions I find a fault ............. I talk about the cost implications and update the customer by email to confirm when I get home. Got one ATM - sent an estimate for a CU change and a few extras - to find a plumber has been sparking .......... been rectifying his work too - so the customer saving is a big fat zero. Then there is an issue that probably dates back to when the house was built in 1980 ..not sure how to fix that! Its all about communication Back to EICR's - there are some properties where I do insist on an EICR before I will even do an estimate for a CU change ... [/QUOTE]
