The question keeps going through my head, "Do I have more to gain than I have to lose?" This client already referred us to the general contractor. I don't want to make him look foolish, and I want to be certain that we keep this client happy in the long run, no matter what.
We are a smaaaall shop, like in the 2-5 technicians line. I would anticipate a project like this soaking up 3 men for several months.
depends on what type of office remodel it is.
and how fast it goes. and where it is.. highrise takes longer to
stock and do stuff, etc.
t bar, 2x4 lights, bx, steel studs, etc? that stuff goes pretty fast.
and it doesn't need a rhodes scholar to toss it in.
maybe put one of your bestest guys on it, and hire two muppets to
help him?
i did a 25k sq. machine shop by myself, including the move from old building to new building.
that included hook up on about 40 machine tools, over a weekend... it all got done on time,
but that weekend sucked.
i'd make sure the money is sorted, so you aren't floating this thing out of
your account for 6 months. TI general contractors have a way of being
problem children on payments. you know you have a problem when the
GC can't get ceiling tiles 'cause they are on cash only with the supply house.
if he can't get drywall and ceiling tiles, your chances of getting money aren't good.
