Subject: Request for Quote & Remedial Work Inspection – Good Day,I am contacting you to see if you are available to take on some urgent remedial work at my property located at.Another contractor recently walked away from a project here, leaving behind severely poor workmanship that does not meet building standards. I need an experienced professional to inspect the site, advise on what can be salvaged or needs to be redone, and provide a formal, itemised quote. Because I intend to hold the original contractor financially liable for these repairs, I require a highly detailed breakdown of your assessment and costs.The specific issues that need to be addressed include:Brittle, crumbling plaster: The previous contractor failed to use the required wire mesh method across the clay structure. As a result, the plaster has failed to bond, is completely brittle, and crumbles away leaving holes at contact.Severely uneven and wavy walls: The walls are highly distorted following the poor plaster application.Roofline gaps: The uneven plastering has left a visible gap in the wall up by the roof.Unfinished gaps: A visible hole was completely missed and left open next to the window.Unlevel flooring: The new cement surface that was laid is completely unlevel across the floor.Structural gaps: Visible, unfinished holes have been left open in the corners of the cement floor.Property damage and severe mess: Hardened floor cement has been left stuck against the bottom of the walls due to a completely failed clean-up.Could you please let me know your earliest availability to come by and inspect the area? If you would like me to send photos of these issues ahead of time, please let me know.I look forward to hearing from you soon.I have more photos if needed.Best regards,
