Should maybe add that in my experience (anecdata warning) clients spending a lot of money will suck up some problems that clients spending 'a lot of money' in their estimation would take people to court over.
Then of course there are rich people who bankrupt builders for the huge expensive mistakes they make!
I work for a guy who has a lot of property on the go, massive renovations, all sorts of maintenance and the horror stories he gets from trades are shocking but when I've asked him why he puts up with it it's because he's happy to get the job done in the end and doesn't find it gets results if you fall out with people. I suppose there's an element of man management that most of us aren't trained for.
