Tenacious DD

I realize that I am just a general contractor. Not a big city developer who has never brought in a project on budget and many of his projects have gone bankrupt. But here is what I know. Never in the history of any public works project has any legitimate contractor neglected to deal with the National Registry of Historic Properties before demolishing a property. Never in the history of such projects has any contractor not submitted, plans, for permits and approvals. Never in recent history has any project like this not been cleared through environmental agencies who would make sure that asbestos and lead were not in a very old building. Finally, it is unbelievable that in less than a week he has literally doubled the budget for the project. And since contractors have to be licensed who is the contractor? This is egregious. This man needs to be reminded that he is one year into a four year lease and he did not even consult the building owners before he destroyed history.
