Do you give back Supervision time(foreman) on a credit change order? If not why? THanks,
If the work has already been installed, no.
It was supervised.
If the c/o has only been proposed, and they want to do it another way,
then basically you are starting over with a new c/o proposal.
It kind of depends on how much they scrutinize your c/o.
This usually spelled out in the specs.
Early in the job, you're kind of testing them on how picky they are or how firm they are to the specs.
On a deduct c/o, I usually don't give back supervision, or profit.
I usually hide all the dollars I can in the hours or material credit.
Your supervision will run from the beginning of the job till the end. On big jobs,
a supervisor will be there the whole time, your original estimate will never have enough.
When you have add c/o's throughout the job, add as much supervision as you can get away with.
How do you calculate supervision for the whole job and c/o's?
10% supervision is standard.
But if you withold the supervision for credit you have be able to justify it....like anything else. How do you go about that? Thanks
