AVTRICIAN SAID:
A contractor that wont tell you what you are paying for?????
Better get rid of him and get a proper professional for starters.
Artique wouldn't work with anyone else (i.e. any other smart-wirer wouldn't have been let onto the property while Artique held the building insurance. That meant that Electronic Interiors could gouge us to the bone - which they did...... and specify what
they were going to do. Artique also uses an inhouse designer who listens to what you want and then writes a contract full of acronyms and hieroglyphs to ensure that to really get what you wanted (and specified) you'll need 100's of thousands of dollars of post-contract variations (all at a fee and carrying a 145% profit margin). These type scamsters have the game sewn up and there is absolutely nil protection against then in the consumer protection laws.
