If the project had been tendered then we could blame the specifier HBC for missing it out of the tender docs, but since it's been handed to this contractor on a plate, we can still blame HBC for not doing their homework in the first place.............so at the end of the day it's yet another HBC c*** up. What was the figure £25k, more like £35k by the time it's all finished
