I’m from HOME-REDI, A Contractor Builder in Long Island NY. If a client cancels an executed renovation contractor with down payment paid but work has not been started as of yet and the client now wants to cancel the contract either due to loss of job or a pandemic, is the Contractor entitled to his profit without doing any work? Thanks
We did 4 months of work, did the architectiral plans. had 7 revisions and then he cancel us becasue he refused to pay the full deposit. The project was written for 2.145m and 25% deposit for a new consruction but he akways went around and around to pay full deposit or sign the writen contract but we mert multiple times. a lots of work was done and he only have paid 158,400 which 60k only was for the architects plans. Now, he canel becasue we refuse to take more money from him without signing the contract and make paymenet for his deposit he wanted to go little by little but work to be done. we invested more than 100 hours and he only wants to pay 9,000 which is 15% of the architectural plans price. we got back to him with all the work was done in apper, meetings and etc not constuction yet becasue you needs many oermits to be done so we asked 3% which is like 65850 to cover our time invested, missed opportunities and so much work it was done to get his 3d plans. but obvioulsy he is refusfing and whats to sue
