Audit my contractor's final invoice. The contract price and payment schedule: [CONTRACT_AND_SCHEDULE]. Change orders in writing: [CHANGE_ORDERS]. Payments I have made: [PAYMENTS_MADE]. The final invoice: [FINAL_INVOICE]. Defects or unfinished items: [DEFECTS].

Reconcile in a table: contract price, approved changes, total due, payments made, balance claimed, difference between the invoice and my calculation. Identify extras not covered by a written change order, double-counted materials, labour charged at different rates, and items on the invoice that are unfinished. Show the arithmetic. Provide a response outline: pay the undisputed balance under protest or hold it (check the contract and local rules [VERIFY]), request an itemised breakdown, and set a date for fixing defects. Write the query email and a table of questions.

Do not advise me to withhold payment without checking the contract. Keep the tone cooperative.

Do not give me legal advice. Name no rule I did not supply. Use [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN] as given. Point me to a consumer agency. Promise no result.

Contract price 18,500.00. Approved change orders: CO-1 skylight 1,200.00; CO-2 extra socket 150.00. Total due = 18,500 + 1,200 + 150 = 19,850.00.
Payments made: 5,550 + 7,400 + 4,000 = 16,950.00. My balance calculation: 19,850 - 16,950 = 2,900.00.
Invoice balance claimed: 4,560.00. Difference: 1,660.00, made up of 'tile upgrade' 980.00 and 'extra labour' 680.00, neither with a written change order.
Defects: grout cracking in the bathroom and an unfinished skirting board.
Response: I will pay 2,900 once the defects are fixed, and ask for written approval records for the two extras.
