Re: Project over runs by 75% ... how do I charge 75% more..

Always...always...always...have an "out of scope" clause of some kind in an agreement or contract. You have got to allow for client stupidity.

Every project I do is left open ended via an "out of scope" clause that states that if the price is X given Y, but if there are over runs due to a, b, c, or d...the price will be adjusted to Z and is due before final delivery.

You may be stuck on this one...not sure of UK law...but the old...I'll catch you next time...never happens. Remember...tomorrow never comes!
