That's the kind of situation where the person (GC, usually) who brings in a sub charges their percentage. The Interior Detonator didn't have to call you- she could have called anyone else.
No, she didn't. That's why she didn't. Instead, the client's PA (That does not mean Pennsylvania), whom I met no a previous job at a client who was my client before she was his PA... she's the one who called me.
Define the payment schedule at the outset- that way, any delays can be subject to a penalty.
Right.
Boo hoo. If she wants to be in charge of who does what, she needs to be willing to do some paperwork. If you state that you want payment within ten days of the invoice being received, the 'recipient' should be determined beforehand.
I suspect she wants to avoid the time and cost. It's totally a non-business-like reason, I'm sure.
Depends- if you speak with the homeowner and discuss things having to do with that project, you could slip comments in about other projects where charges were added- if they aren't in favor of it, it's up to you to determine whether their relationship with the detonator is important to the homeowner, not.
Again, the PA, not the inferior defecator.
If they really like the detonator, the charges may be reversed but if the detonator is a vindictive bitch, they may go after you for lost business.
She would be completely lost as to how to do this. Plus, it would reveal details she'd rather just keep quiet.
You might want to discuss this with the desecrator, to find out if the charges were approved by the homeowner. It's a common thing for a GC to do and she's not one of those, although 10% seems high- I don't know if it's typical in CA.
This is definitely the right idea.
