Valuation week
Month three. Kofi needs the concrete and excavation quantities by Thursday.
Kofi's journey · Commercial · Story 2
Measured from the wrong drawing
Kofi values the month's work from Rex's quantities. Rex measured from C02. The basement is now on C03.
The wrong way
Tuesday
Rex takes them off the basement drawing in his downloads folder: C02.
A fortnight earlier
C03 was published. The basement went 2m deeper.
Thursday
Kofi's valuation goes in. The client's quantity surveyor measures from C03.
The week after
The two numbers are £40,000 apart. Each side is sure the other can't count.
Two weeks later
A week of arguing, a week of re-measuring, and the payment is late. Kofi asks which drawing Rex measured from. Rex: "The one I had."
£40,000 apart, and both sides measured right. From different drawings.
