Can't work as no hotels avail near client office

And f you were the client seeking such staff you would likely hear "you must be joking matey, if you have to have the term we will go somewhere else".

Why do you think companies employ "freelance" staff. If they wanted to pay for a perm, they'd be employing a perm.

Here is an example that may help explain what I mean:

A large software house may have 10 people ready to customise an application prior to installation. The client is not choosing between 10 contractors of their own or 10 permies, they are buying expertise from the software house. The software house will not commit 10 people to the work without having protection built in to prevent their revenue recognition from being unreasonably delayed by the client without some form of compensation. Otherwise, you will see more profit warnings from such companies and demands from shareholders to rectify the situation and that is on top of the management having to explain how they allowed the company to get into the situation in the first place where any of the staff were sitting around not working.

And so what if the client says "No" - that is the starting point for a negotiation of the terms and negotiation BTW is not a "take it or leave it" thing its a two way process of coming to an agreement otherwise known as a commercial contract!
