We are on week 12 of a double story side & single story back extension. We are not even up to wall plate (ie the step before the roof) I feel like I am the site manager. The builder has subcontracted the job out but has withheld money from the sub. He also didn't share the structural drawings with the sub so the steel was delayed and part of the wall they've built will have to be knocked down and rebuilt - I am the one who spotted this problem. The builder does not communicate with us. The site is a mess (despite repeated requests for them to keep it tidy, not put stuff on the lawn etc), there wasn't a portaloo for 8 weeks and I caught a young lad pissing in our back garden - asked him not to do it again and reminded the builder to order a portaloo. The next day, the lad saw me in the kitchen and walked past to have a piss in the garden. I had to ask the builder to send him elsewhere as I won't have him here.
Absolutely tearing my hair out every day that goes past with little to no progress, while the extension across the road flies up (their site is extremely tidy and builders are there from 8-5 every day and some weekends). Anyone got any similar stories or advice? I want to sack the builder as soon as we are watertight but DH is concerned we won't be able to get anyone to finish the work.
