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

I'd have to say Ditto to MIke, but I think one thing that you all missed is that he said he brought up the fact early in the stages of production and the client said he would cut it down later in the process.

Probably one fault of Mark B. was to let it progress past this point, but I have done the same again in "good faith" but made sure to point out the fact that it was out of scope and there would be additional charges.

Mark R. I'd say you are being a little harsh...unless you are one of those perfect business people in this crazy business of ours and has never run into this situation...you too missed the point that he brought it up early and tried to confront it...as long as he has documentation to prove it...he can most certainly go after the extra money...he did the work...it was out of scope and he is most certainly due the overruns.

He came here for advice not sniping and belittling of his professionalism and business acumen.
