Some general problems relating to Construction:According to the agreement, the builder has to complete the work within 5 months for building my house. The builder has taken 8 months to complete the work. Do I have any remedy for claiming compensation? If you had not caused the delay or the delay made by the builder is not a justifiable one, you can withhold the final payment and sue against the builder for compensation for not completing the work within the stipulated time. I have entered into an agreement with the constructor to build a house in my land. The constructor has completed only 2/3 of the work. To complete the remaining work, the builder demands more money beyond the contracted money. What can I do in this situation? If you had not made the builder to go beyond the budget, you can withhold payment. You can file a case asking the builder to complete the work on the rate mentioned in the contract. The owner of the property is withholding the payment stating that I have to do some additional construction work. What should I do to get the payment? If you had done the work as per the agreement and if the additional work does not come under the agreement you need not do the work. You can ask the owner of the property to pay the payment along with interest by filing a case against the owner of the property. |
