Re: construction contract completion date missed

Since the contractor has breached the contract you can terminate his services and sue him for the cost to finish assuming that you have paid the contractor in full. I would give him a deadline and stick to it. If you want you can hire an attorney andue the contractor under the consumer sales practices act which calls for triple damages and attorney fees.

Good Luck
