I am well under way with my new build. Things really seem to have gone smoothly until now.
The forms, road base and re bar were up several days ago. they started the pour as I left town for a few days. I return...THE FINISH IS WRONG. I had even text-ed the PB during my trip asking how the rock salt finish looked. the reply "all is good".
Our contract initially specified that it would be spray decking, but in subsequent conversations and emails we change to rock salt. We thought it would look nice and preserve the opportunity to do something else if we didn't like it. I was concerned that I did not make myself clear, but I went and found the email from 2 weeks ago. "We definitely want a rock salt finish..." Okay he replies.
It looks like a lousy broom finish with swirs and short brush stokes in some strange places.
Does anyone have an advice for when I talk to the PB again. What tactics or leverage would be reasonable in this situation?
