You don't mention that you have a written contract and a set of specifications or drawings. I hope that you do because your situation is made a lot more difficult if not. Either way, I recommend that you contact a lawyer in your area who handles construction cases. I do that but it would be better to find someone near you. /p/ See also: http://info.corbettlaw.net/lawguru.htm
