When the judgment came down, about $58,000 of his extras were thrown out because nobody had signed for them.\nKosta and Johny break down the Ontario case line by line. They cover the stair landing, the barbecue stone, the heating system that went in with fewer zones than the drawings called for, and how Tarion ended up on the hook. They also get into why contractors skip the paperwork with clients they trust, how change requests get approved on commercial jobs, and how to get a signature from a friend without it getting awkward.\n\nEvery extra in this case could have been settled with a signed quote on the job. Jobtable lets you quote an extra on the spot from your phone, get it signed while the client is standing there, and carry it through to the invoice.\nπŸ‘‰ Learn more at https://www.jobtable.com\nNew episodes every week.
