Dear LawGuru User:
The best way to proceed is to examine the contract you signed and see what remedies you have against the builder. Usually a contract has provisions that determine what action can be taken in the event of breach of the contract by the other party.
Depending upon the contract's terms, you may be able to terminate the builder and replace him. Please be very careful in doing this. You do not wish to create a cause of action in which the builder can sue you. Be sure to comply with every aspect of the contract and, if possible, have an attorney handle correspondence with the builder.
Please feel free to contact me with further questions.
Thank you for using LawGuru.
