Every customer has a limited amount of patience before they will want to cancel the contract and move on.
If I pay a $20,000.00 deposit and then another $20,000.00 after the hole is dug and then the builder disappears for 6 months, I want the legal right to cancel and move on.
I don’t have to, but I should have that right.
I don’t really care what the reasons are or what the excuses are; that’s not my problem.
In addition, I want compensation for my lost time and effort in the amount of double my money back.
So, if I have paid $40,000.00 and I have nothing but a hole in my yard, I want the builder to pay me $80,000.00.
I want the builder to have a completion bond that will ensure that the full amount is available.
There’s no ambiguity, either the project is on schedule or it is not.
A good builder should be able to control what happens.
If they have no ability to control what happens, then they are worthless and incompetent.
