Very costly lesson indeed.. im sure you can terminate your contract and get other builder to finish off the build. Check the contract. You can claim it. My lawyer is dealing with two sulja client if you want his number.
Yes can I please get your lawyer number ?
If there are few people in same boat against this builder - something must have gone wrong there.
Hi Altair, Im in the same boot. Can you please share with your phone number so I can discuss something?
Also I spoke to Sulja and they said they receive the insurance last week. has anyone got any news on that?

Hi Apple123. It's up to you to decide.
Can they guarantee you the date of completion ?
To give you insight - I went to a real estate at Tarneit suburb last week
Saw few Sulja homes constructions - their building permit either
Oct/Nov last year, or early this year (Feb/March). None of them are finished.
Hi altair,
Well, I don't think there will be any way to cancel the contract, even if I do they will take all deposit (9k) for sure.
What do you suggest?
I believe no builder can give completion date, In my contract it mentions job will be completed in max 270 days (9months) but not sure what happens if they don't complete in that period like we seen with other people.
If you know any lawyer dealing with Sulja client do you mind forward me Lawyer number?

Check your building contract - In VIC, you'll have the standard $250 per week liquidated damages clause in your contract, and if your build runs over the specified contract time, then the builder will need to pay. Especially if delays are avoidable if the trades had been on their game
altair, in my contract its says $0 liquidated damages. Are they paying you $250/week since they delay your job?
@altair, in my contract its says $0 liquidated damages. Are they paying you $250/week since they delay your job?
Haven't claim it yet since they are still within the duration of completion date.
but it's very close and I don't see how they can complete it on time..
Reading through forum - it seems the liquidated damage come out of your last payment/invoice..
IMHO - you should have requested that clause in contract, before signed it..
since if you have $0 liquidated damage, my understanding that the builder
could argue they won't be liable for any damages for the late completion.
Will need consult lawyer / solicitors how to claim the general damages
suffered due to late completion (at later stage).
