Asking for some Contractor advice

[Greenheadless]

Won't ever happen.

Why not?

Why not?

Cause he tripped over his own feet and posted this without realizing what it would take for a resolution.

It was never likely to happen in 2 days, either way.

Zero chance we ever get closure on this thread.

To find closure we can start a search party. We need to be on the look out for go fund me posts. Key phrase "concrete gone wrong".

Ultra-high profile project.
Project owner is a billionaire entrprenuer.
GC was one of the best in the country.
Concrete Subcontractor is the best in Houston.
It was just bad freaking luck. Especially when you have about a dozen Bentley's with concrete spatter all over them.
I was glad to only be doing earthworks and utilities on that job.


The only project in my career where I was tasked with getting all the fire hydrants chrome plated.

And how did those hydrants look? That sounds like they were being asked to be stolen

OP - I doubt this is resolved yet. Just checking to see which way the wind is blowing. Out of genuine curiosity.

Just looked through the thread. I'm also curious how it is all going.
I think in cases like this, the responsibility can often be shared. The general contractor should ensure quality control, but the concrete company must deliver a product that meets standards. I agree with hiring an attorney for guidance. And if your relative considers himself a contractor, maybe it is better to get general building contractor training (my cousin has recently got his license here https://www.contractorsischool.com/contractors-license/general-building-contractors-license). At least, it could help him avoid complications in the future.

Welp, seems as if you were onto something

Just a GC here reading thru all the posts waiting for messages from subs and customers to see how many fires I need to extinguish today.

Curious how this is going to play out and happy I’m not involved in any way. Feel bad for the owner but it’s spilt milk now.

Not sure if the owner, neighbor or some guy that calls concrete cement is claiming to be the GC but whoever that may be needs to own this mistake and start making decisions. Good ones preferably.

Best advice here. Hire a real GC and no more HGTV

[scott1022]

Bringing this back up in hopes that we can get an update. I know it's a long shot... or as TeamAmerica said, zero chance, but I am very curious about how things are going.

I missed this thread the first go around but I see there was lots of...should have done this. Only to be stepped on by people with actual knowledge. Perfect!!
