AIBU to expect my building contractor not to leave my house uninhabitable? What compensation do you think would be reasonable?

[helenp2010]

I spent over £100K on a building contractor to develop my home in Bedford and instead he has tried his very best to destroy it. Building Control have said that the work does not comply with building regulations or acceptable safety standards. The work carried out bares little resemblance to the drawings that were agreed with planning.

I have contacted TS yes, they have been very informative and supportive and will be taking things further which is great news.

The "buy the materials yourself" suggests that he may have lacked the money to do it ... which unfortunately further suggests that a claim for bankruptcy may be a strong probability

Certainly you need legal advice, but given what this guy's already cost you I'd be wary about running up too large a bill on this ...

@Puzzledandpissedoff yes that is indeed my worry too
