@Adam:Depending on which of the Drake models you are considering, they score relatively well on the MaP test, though be warned that most of them are not HET nor WaterSense certified, so will not help reduce your water consumption.Champion does not appear to have submitted their models for testing.We have been using Niagara Conservation 1.28usg single-flush HET, flapperless model for the past couple of years (MaP score >1000) in all our renovations and replacements ... installed more than 30 so far and have had one with a defective fill valve ... which the supplier replaced in an hour.

She recorded my presentation then copied it and after we had closed a few deals she went behind our backs to our suppliers and found someone who would pay her more money per house and started presenting my material.  

You've really got two good choices.Go to a law text supplier and find a compilation of statute and case law.  

Whether we are ordering from a tile supplier, or hiring a landscaper to spruce up the curb appeal on an upcoming new build.

He did NOT get a draw until that stage of work was complete, subs, suppliers were paid by our attorney & signed off that they had been paid in full. 

I have great relationships with suppliers and am able to purchase excess material for a huge discount.

Especially since I am in construction in Denver and can basically GC the project myself, I know all of the subcontractors, suppliers in town.

Then you have all the material suppliers etc.. its trickle down effect.  

State laws vary, but yes you need a Final Release from your GC, simultaneously when issuing the final check.....but that doesn’t protect you from subs/suppliers.  

It is very important to do your diligence and not rely on pro formas sent to you by investor/suppliers.
