One of the biggest causes of stress is when something that you had planned so extensively goes wrong due to someone else’s mistakes. Having a builder that is costing you more money than you planned for, or one that makes mistakes that experienced builders simply should not make, is the bane of a large number of peoples lives.

It’s a difficult decision, but something needs to be done. If left, building mistakes could develop into much more dangerous or expensive problems. Detailed below is a list of possible remedies.

Confront the builder with your concerns - So you have noticed that your builder is not working to the proposal that they submitted to you. Problems have arisen with work scheduling, budget and/or safety. You must confront your builder to try to rectify the issues before going any further. First of all, write down a list of all the complaints you have with the work they have done. Then ask for an audience with them so you can go through the problems and both find possible solutions to rectify the situation. Make sure that they are active in the solution finding process.

Get some advice - So it has become apparent that the project will be over budget or behind schedule. In which case, you must contact your lender to ask for help in rectifying the situation, they will most probably have encountered similar problems before and will have sound advice to help you. You may possibly need to hire a building inspector to categorize specific safety issues with the work that has been carried out.

Hire an attorney - So it looks like all the attempts that you have made trying to resolve the situation have failed, the chances are that you will now have to hire an attorney to try to reclaim any money lost in the project due to the builders negligence. An experienced attorney will be able to help you through the procedure.

Always remember that you should not have to pay for all building work up front. In most circumstances, builders require only a deposit and payment for certain non-standard materials bills initially and the final payment should be made when work is completed. If you think something is not right, be sure to address the problems quickly as things can spiral out of control quite rapidly, in terms of budget and time delays.
