Dear Paul, and all,
Please see the attached from quote from Wade in accordance with the specifications given to him by the surveyor you appointed.
To start with, may I say that I am in agreement with the full contents of Diego’s e-mail dated as sent on 8.5.2014. But I would like to add that in view of the all the controversial directions you have given, no work can proceed with any contractor until we know what work is to be
quoted for by the comparing contractors. I.e. following our meeting on 28th April at your premises you expressed in front of Neil that some of the exterior work as advised by the surveyor would not be included/undertaken, and therefore we need to make sure that all the quotes align.
Re: the interior, again we still don’t know the precise list of works to be undertaken and therefore cannot move forward or justify any comparisons. As you clearly indicated during our
meeting on 28th that you yourself would undertake some of the work, and I’m afraid you are not a professional so even if you did not charge for your work/time this is not how we want the work to be done.
I can only repeat it again that the majority want the job undertaken by professional tradesman, and on this point we are still unclear as to which company/companies you are putting forward with their quotes. Your Section 20 cannot be valid until this is provided. You can only blame yourself that this dragging on when repeated and legitimate requests are ignored.
As explained in Diego’s e-mail with regard to the financing, the exterior and the interior should be done separately. This has been reiterated on countless occations, most lately in my e-mail of 1.5.2014.
In your e-mail of the 2.5.2014 you laid out two options – A and B. It has been made clear that the majority want to go with option B i.e. employing Wade to do the interior and then delaying the exterior work to 2015. But what is not wanted is any decisions to raise Quarterly Demands until the interior work is finally completed, and we can then move on to discussing options and costs and financing for the exterior.
Following from this, if one can understand what you are saying in your separate e-mail to me on 2.5.2014, you are agreeing to what is laid out above:
“Your quite inexplicable behaviour over what, even to the uninitiated, would appear to be an extraordinarily fair compromise offered by Management to you and your fellow Lessees (which I might add, legally we are not required to do), as regards the use of your preferred contractor, Wade, with a budget of £51, 647 for the much disputed proposed Internals, and an equally equitable compromise to sort your other disagreement, namely to postpone the Externals until next year. See RED section (A) and (B) below.”
If the above is case, then please let’s put this to bed.
You can then carry on ignoring the requests for clear descriptions of works from your chosen contractors, we can take them out of the equation, and everyone will be happy and we can start
