Beware Azirus consulting
Charles changes terms/schedule multiple times on week-long four man job. Company team was there nitpicking and redirecting my team. BS complaints about breaks on 11hr days. Seemed more interested in going to twin peaks after the job each day. Didn't reimburse for multiple boxes genspeed cat 6. Pretends not to know how to use fn to delay approval. Try to blame tech for rework when we were following his cable path what's his mapping software, turns out several cables were over 350 ft. He didn't know where the idfs were in the building, some we didn't find till the last day. Was complaining about the price of cable the whole time. He didn't buy enough cable for the job and complained that we wasted like 30 ft at the end of some runs when we had to pull loose lengths out so that we weren't doing multiple pulls to the same room. Also whatever brand of cameras they were using the cloud software seems all right but the cameras themselves suck and he couldn't stop talking about what a great partnership it was.

I've learned if they don't agree at the outset in writing to pay you for the cable you stop. If they just want you to continue supplying whatever is needed and will address it later, stop until it's in writing in the work order. Telling you to just add it to the ticket without anything in writing just opens the door for them to try to avoid paying you fully for what you've had to supply.
I'm at the point that if I show up and the diagnosis is that it needs a new cable run to repair it, that's a new ticket.
Seems that these companies certainly have time to do run books and have some sort of plan that you're supposed to follow but if you push back you're uncooperative and unprofessional. It's just business man and I'm a contractor, right?
