(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.
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???

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.
Hi Ali
Most of my previous project work been carry out without agreeing the cost, after the work completed and quotation submitted the client bargain till no room to move and unfair to contractor?

Ron
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.
