Verbal extra on the slab
GC, owner, or super asks for 'a little more' while you are already there.
- 01Stop
Do not mix, place, or cut for the extra. The original spec still governs.
- 02Capture
Who asked, what, where, photo. Time stamp. Job number.
- 03Radio / text office
One message. Not a group-chat novel. Ask for a PCO / written proceed.
- 04Tell the asker
I can log it. I cannot install it without a written proceed. You'll have a same-day answer.
- 05File
Daily + extras log. If they press, stand. Pressure is not new information.
Never
- Do it for the relationship.
- Price it yourself on the slab.
- Invoice from memory on Friday.
Escalate if
- They threaten to throw us off site.
- The extra touches a life-safety or hygienic detail.
