We needed to have our base flood elevation determined for our property and we contracted Tighe & Bond. Mr. Joseph Canas sent an email to the surveyor and myself stating that we should set a $5,000.00 budget for the project. Within the same email he stated that he would need some cross section work performed by the surveyor for this project. We were completely under the impression that the surveyor's work would be included within the $5,000.00 budget of the project.
I later received an invoice from the surveyor for $2,375.00. I then contacted the surveyor and Mr. Canas to make sure that this was going to be part of the $5,000.00 budget before I paid the surveyor. They both responded that this would not be included within the project. My husband and I explained that an additional 47% of the project's budget would have had to have been discussed with us thoroughly beforehand and that we never would have agreed to it.
I proposed a billing solution of the three of us splitting the surveyor's costs and while the surveyor did work with us financially, Mr. Canas refused to reduce his bill at all. We feel strongly that setting a project's budget and then asking for additional work to be done in the same email that is not covered in the project's budget is completely unethical.
We have a lengthy contract with Tighe and Bond so we will be forced to pay his entire bill. However, just because something is legal, certainly does not mean that it is right.
