i know this is a no-no!! but there must be some method -legally - to expose these people. after reading a trade magazine article ten years ago, i dicided to try to get away from them -- it worked out good for me. but every once in a while i venture back and have some dealings with them that always ends up in a hasle!!! in south florida it seems as though they are all the same, don't care about the sub contractors and have a list of excuses for late paying their bills!!!
is it the same in other areas? i just finished a cable (data-phone) installation where this big corporation directed me to run the work through a particular general contractor. i was against it - but figured i'd be o.k. since i do alot of work directly for this corporation and never had a payment problem. this g.c. called with the figures and doesn't even know what i'm doing or where the job is. i really think he 's making more profit on this job than i am?? and know i'm getting the typical run around that he hasen't gotten payed - well they always payed me on time?
now i ask - did he get payed? or did he invoice on time? i sure wish there was a way to expose other electrical contractors to stay clear of this outfit and others like them. or maybe someone could have warned me about him if we had a system... just a thought! thanks charlie
