We had a large infrastructure job done to the common property of our building.
Unfortunately the large company’s work was of an initial poor standard. Multiple times they had to come out and rectify shoddy work. Getting them to come out and fix their substandard work was also a long drawn out process.
Project managers of the company seemed to be changing by the week as it kept being delayed and rectified.
The project is now complete but who knows if it will hold up in 6 months time.
The company’s poor work seems to have extended to their billing processes as apart from initial 10%deposit, they have failed to bill us for the work after near 6 months!
As you can imagine, I am not inclined to remind them given how poor their performance was.
I will always ensure the funds are there in the capital works fund for the job but i don’t feel any urge to give them a call.
Legally, I don’t know whether there is any limit on their side to provide billing.

I reckon you are doing the right thing. Quarantine the funds but don’t be rushing to reward someone’s incompetence.
