That sucks. I'll be keeping an eye out for the "Advice on starting a new job" thread soon...
Hopefully something works out... Not sure why someone would drive a brand new Audi to what sounds like a construction site of some sort. Like driving up in a 90k F250 on a job site and complaining because you got mud on your truck...
It's a 2 story elevated building down in Venice, LA - elevated to protect from storm surge. This makes under the building a parking lot. The plumbing is run under the building's first floor which puts it above the cars. Nobody said it was a construction site.
