[quote=Anonymous]Recently complete a major project that included both, a really really bad GC and a fantastic GC. Narrowed down to two contractors with nearly the same bids. Unfortunately, selected the local contractor over a contractor that was going to travel 2 hours each day. That contractor, Optimum Construction run by Omar Elrahimy (See the thread - Warning for those looking for a contractor) immediately started trying to get additional funds, did not complete anything and claimed he could not work because of covid unless I would pay 50% more. Needless to say I said no. Went back to the other contractor. They took over the project honoring their original proposal and the only additional costs were for changes where I asked for more. No issues, fantastic to work with. Your GC should be able to do a proposal and stick to it. If not, they failed the first task of being a GC unless they are like Omar Elrahimy.[/quote]
