There may have been good reason why the supplier exceeded the cost approved, e.g. the need to do something on the fly, so to speak, to save other costs and hassles down the track.
The first thing you, your committee or strata manager should do is have a meeting or chat with the supplier to ask why they exceeded the cost cap.
If they don’t have a good reason, don’t pay the difference.
