She feels she can get my project completed at $10k per unit, and is asking if I’d like her to coordinate everything through her contractors and suppliers....for a nominal fee.

Closing extended to on or before 08 JAN 2016.This was insurance claim:Contractor deposited check, but did not pay supplier for roofing materials.

Things like windows, cabinets, and counter tops you will get a sense of after doing a few, but you can always take the measurements and take them to actual fabricators or suppliers to get quotes for your first few until you have a good idea in your mind how much a space will cost.

Here are some steps you can take to protect yourself:Include lien waiver requirements in your contracts: When hiring a general contractor, make sure your contract includes a provision requiring the GC to obtain lien waivers from all subcontractors and suppliers before final payment is made.Monitor progress payments: Keep track of progress payments to the GC and make sure that they are paying their subcontractors and suppliers on time.

Charges shall include but not be necessarily limited to, late fees, 3-Day Notice fees, dishonored check fees, charges for Tenant caused maintenance and damage to the premises, and any unpaid utility bills.”So if you had a clause like that in your lease, you could apply the rent payments as the lease specifies (including to unpaid utility bills).Additionally, there is another clause that states (in summary) under the Utilities section: “...Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay when applicable directly to the appropriate supplier, for ALL utilities and services, private and public service charges and assessments, and deposits required by a utility or service company including but not limited to gas, electricity, water, sewer, garbage, phone, cable, satellite dish, internet connection etc. 

Business credit or Paydex score also looks at how you pay your payables to your vendors/suppliers that report the information and not really how you pay a business loan.

Anyone have any go to stores/suppliers for kitchen backsplash and cabinet hardware other than HD or Lowe’s?

Even though you may be trouble shooting live with the GC while he’s on the line with a supplier, bouncing between options, politely ask for an email summarizing the approved product details.   

We are in the process of working with Home depot to get a quote but wanted to look at some other suppliers.
