Hey Steve – sorry to hear you are having this trouble – I know exactly where you are coming from as had the same trouble myself once. However just to put my two cents worth in, you have to be clear what is a variation – these are just where you actually change something or if something HAS to change in the build which adds extra cost then yes you do have to sign off, but any changes in costs of materials or labour aren’t variations and don’t have to be signed off and usually the RMB contract allows them to charge extra for that. If it was indeed variations that they didn’t get you to sign/agree then yes you can argue that. Good luck. 🙂
