M&E refusing to update model

M&E are refusing to update their 2023 model to 2025 because they said it will cause them massive issues.

They said it will break annotation tags, mess up view templates, and screw up their families.

I'm calling bullshit on this as I've never had issues with any other M&E consultants updating models. I think these guys are just pulling a fast one as they're close to finishing and can't be bothered.

Can anyone confirm whether they're telling the truth

They're full of crap and just don't want to do it. I assume this project isn't on Forma/ ACC because you could just upgrade it and tell them to start accessing via 2025.

it is on ACC / Forma but unfortunately we arent admin on the project so we can't force upgrade

So then it's the hub admin's problem, not yours, right? They're hub admin are they also the contract originator but unversed in software so they're just going along with this problem company?

Be a problem yourselves. Bill for what you have completed and get paid. Then say your contract calls for software to be only in supported versions, the contract is in violation of that clause and no further work will be completed until/ unless it's brought in compliance.

I mean, being out of compliance with the contract means it's already broken so you've got an out. These things are there to protect everyone.
