Your subcontractor just raised their price what should you do next

Confirm what changed, tell the affected trades and get the fix assigned the same day. Do not wait for the next coordination meeting to find out. - Compare, don't assume.

<p>Confirm what changed, tell the affected trades and get the fix assigned the same day. Do not wait for the next coordination meeting to find out.</p>
<ul><li><strong>Compare, don't assume.</strong> Publish the new revision and compare it with the last one. BidLight shows what moved element by element, by category.</li><li><strong>Check the neighbours.</strong> Look at structural, MEP and interior changes next to the sub's elements. That is where clashes appear.</li><li><strong>Pin the issue now.</strong> Attach it to the elements involved so it carries the sheet and revision.</li><li><strong>Name an owner.</strong> They see it in their 6am digest the next morning.</li><li><strong>Close it with proof.</strong> A screenshot, a tagged user and the model commit that fixed it.</li></ul>
<p>A clash caught in the model costs about $50. If the sub's change slips through and a crew runs into it, the same clash costs $5,000 to $50,000, and idle labour behind it runs $15K to $50K a week.</p>
