They all talk about how some mega gazillion dollar project gets put together, but when it comes to the survey, they give the surveyor very little time, and then whine that they have to pay more than 100 bucks for you to do your job. Then they want to take 6 months to pay you for the work.

Yup, what we do does not matter, until there is a problem then suddenly it matters. We just a provide a piece of paper that the bank or building department says they need to move forward.
In 2003 I quit from a builder that would take 4-5 months to pay his bills and always ran a 25-30K balance.
There was a point where it was hitting over 6 months and I had enough. I told him to get caught up to net 60 or I was not taking any new orders.
He stiffed me out of 25K. I learned from past fights with Ahole lawyers, write it off as a loss and move on, I would spend 10K and maybe get 10K out of him.
I just found out 2 weeks ago, he did this to all his contractors, every one, he put the bank draws in 6 month investment accounts. I have not idea what you can invest in for 6 months. Once it matured he would pull the money then pay his subs.
What a POS.
