Re: contracts
This is governed by the terms of the contract, and without the contract in front of me, I can't answer your question. If the contract calls for a finished price, and he made mistakes, that's his tough luck in most cases. Some contractors have a "mistake" clause, but I can't know if that's the case without seeing the document.
Contact a lawyer and get a legal opinion. It may be worthwhile to consider having the lawyer send a letter demanding "specific performance" of the contract.
Good luck
