Hi I'm a newbe here and invite and welcome comments and advice on a problem.
In December 2016 my and I approached the biggest home builder in our state to have a home built on land we own. We had selected a project home plan of their's and requested very minor changes. We discussed with them the home being built during 2017 and finished in September. They did not argue that was an unlikely timeline.builder. Paid a deposit in January 2017.
We finally got to sign a contract in late October 2017. Some time lost with approvals but a lot of time lost with builder errors etc in developing the build.
When we got the contract it included a 150 working day period. That is nearly 8 months. Now this is a simple build, single storey modest house on a slab. We did argue and got a 135 day period.
Of course the house is not yet finished.
OK they are within their contract time period. But is there not a case that to some extent the thing started when the deposit was paid and we expected an earlier completion.
Comments please
Pat
