Hi All,
I was told by the client to proceed to carry out the additional work by verbal instruction and i have check with my PM to me to proceed and the commercial will talk later. I feel something wrong? is it the right thing to proceed without agreeing the cost???
Regard
Ron

Most standard contracts allow
Most standard contracts allow for the client to instruct additional work to proceed before the contractor has submitted the quotatiion. Even before the full scope of the works is agreed.
However these should be something in writing to protect the contractor. -This could be formal instruction, signed minutes, or even an email is better than nothing.
Some jobs aren't run contractually though. -If your PM feels his relationship with the client is such that he is prepared to proceed on trust, then that's his decision.

Ron, You can send an RFI
Ron,
You can send an RFI (Request for Information) to clarify the subject.
Inform them them that the verbal instruction will cost the contractor blah blah blah ...... to proceed with.
In this case, they will reply and that the subject is now officially in Black & White.
