A True Story and a new client
My friend (Frank) from High School hired a friends dad (Stan) to renovate his basement - not a small project by anyone's standards. A complete rip out and redo. Frank has known Stan since we were in kindergarten. How much more trusting can a relationship be, known each other since the early 80's.
Stan comes over, tells Frank to buy all these items and then Stan takes money up front and starts his work. He rips out the walls, runs some new data lines for the TV's and computers, he installs some plumbing and than he disappears. No phone calls, no returned text messages, no emails - just pocket the money and split!
So now Frank has a basement that is 20% into construction, he has to find new contractors to complete all the plumbing, electrical, HVAC and misc carpentry work that Frank has designed in his visionary head.
Frank has no plans, he has boxes full of fixtures and trim pieces, he has to take a friends dad to small claims court (Yes, Stan still lives in the same house) so he was served legal papers, he has to find a new Contractor, he has to explain his vision to a new Contractor, he has to wait another month to start the project again, the contractor he has hired doesn't do electric so he needs to find a new Electrican.
Frank needs to do all these things while working a very stressful and demanding job, his wife has two kids to take
Frank is a very smart guy, Frank is also very trusting and Frank has enlisted the help of North Shore Contractor Management to make sure that his basement gets finished the way he envisions it, he doesn't want to give money away, he wants to make sure the job is done correctly, he needs to understand how to tie the finishes together, he needs to make sure all the electrical devices work and work together.
