The helpers time should have had been in your price when you bid for the job so by right if you need a helper you should absorb the coast, but you could be honest with your customer and explain to them that you took on more then you could handle and you would need some help.

Morning.....

Depending on your arrangements/contract with the customer, the helper should be included in your quote and should be your responsibility........

......Sorry.........

Hope this helps,

Hi Gowkarran

Yes, any and all help you require to complete your job must be in your cost. If your customer has asked for changes and or different items than described in your original estimate than you will have to tell the customer that it will be a little extra to complete these changes prior to completing them. Sometimes it is easier to absorb this cost as a lesson in Good Business

Practice that will not be repeated a second

time in the future.

It depends on what arrangement you made with the client. A customer assumes that your price includes everything, you can't decide after the fact that you require help unless the plan has been changed
