Hi All,
I signed up a contract with AHB group - Royston Homes in Apr'22 to build a new land-home package. Our land was titled only recently. AHB did not provide me any indication of any change to the contract until they shared the designs and got approval from my end.
Now, all of a sudden, they are demanding a 15% variation to the build cost. They are justifying it as increase in labour and material cost. Upon discussion with them, the first option that they provided me was to end the contract which seems very strange to me. Since, they have already started, my preference would be to continue with them but I'm worried
1. Need your advise on how to challenge this variation which seems more like a provisional sum without any details. 2. I'm also a bit worried about the builder and their status given the number of builders going down over the past few months. Can someone please help me with any info on these 2 topics. Any info will be much appreciated
