Breaking a deal

Been working on a quotation for a project all week - its a structural fabrication for a school (essentially a fancy canopy with articulated joints, tapered steel sections, all galvanized and powder coated etc) - its a nice little project for a company my size. We will be installing it too.

Submitted our first quotation about a month ago.

Had a call on tuesday seeing if I could attend a site survey on thursday - things were looking up!

However... Was asked to shave the costs down by a good few £1000s, AND the complexity of the project had increased with about another ton of steel involved! So they want more work, for less, and the deadline is getting closer...

So today been wrangling with the QS about costs and final budgets.... basically ALL day.

Just submitted our FINAL quotation... take it or leave it situation...

I need a beer

Rant over! Have a good weekend people!

So, your specialty's erections, eh?
