Heres the story;
I bid out a tree job for a friend, when i went out to look at the job i took note of all the trees in the area that were in need of pruning or were dead and needed removal. I bid the job to break even and i got it. ( I bid it to break even to get in the neighborhood and try and get more jobs) I personally do not do tree removal so i bring in one of the contractors that i use and when i get out to the job site he is talking to one of the neighbors about there place. this would not be a problem except he signed a contract for tree work with the guy, in my subcontract agreement it states that any potential clients will be referd to me so that i can give them a estimate, or if they want a bid right then and there that i will be called and will come out and give a bid. so my question is ho would you handle this, i feel as i had that potential client robed from me.
*a note* when i sub out work i know what my subs charge, i bid the job and add 10%
should i tell the sub i need 10% of what he charges the customer? or should i let it slide and just not use him any more?:hammerhead::dizzy:
