[QUOTE="StuF, post: 414909, member: 17262"] I do not agree with this commonly accepted practice - project managment is a key aspect to running a profitable business, the prospect of a rotten bus should be factored into the initial consultation. It is pretty easy to establish if a bus is a wreck after a bit of a poke and prod. If the company does not carry out a pre resto check I would avoid them. It would be totally unacceptable in any other business so why do we take it? I would not agree to a contract for restoration that did not have a definite completion date - if I did and it was not completed in time I would have penalty clauses drawn in to compensate me for the delay. Civilian contruction industry works the same way and these restos run into several if not tens of thousands of pounds. It winds me up that there is a lack of communication and we as customers are expected to factor in delays mounting to several months and sometimes years so the restorer doesnt do a "rush" job.
