The courts would likely require the PMC to refund the tenant and then pursue you for reimbursement -> that would cost them time & money IF it made financial sense to hire an attorney to chase you.Kudos to @Adam Bartomeo for getting this right!

Part of it is the higher cost of operating a business there, and part of it is that the Contractors know that they can ask higher $$ and usually get it.

Site selection, estimating/detailed budgeting, all labor/material/soft costs are an open book with no markup/GC fee, and i own all site management from groundbreaking to closing.- Total cost of these projects would range between $390k-$550K.
