Hi,
The HIA contract states building to be competed in 180 days including 10 days for inclement weather, 5 days for weekends, holidays, and 20 days for other.
Agreed damages is $250 per week.
We are now over approx 4 months!!!!!
Our building has been going on 304 days and we thought that we were entitled to the 124 days late payments.
The builder just sent me an email to say he will only pay us for 30 days, which is $1000 instead of around $4000.
Our house is ready for handover tomorrow, and I think he deliberately left this until the last day.
What do I do?
If I dispute this I don't know if I could settle this matter with the builder tomorrow and then it will delay the settlement further, or do I just give in to them.
We have had a tough time with them on a number of occassions, and we cannot win in any situation.
Hubby says just settle tomorrow, and then we will never have to speak to them again.
What do I do.?
