Wondering if I'm being over anxious regarding our builder. Our build is about 4-5 months past its 'dead-line'. The builder has been dragging his feet and pulled out every excuse to explain his numerous delays. Usually it comes down to him not having paid for an item/service or just having not paid the tradesman. There are a few tradesman that have decided they will not work with him anymore. But now his staff of over 10 years are leaving and his own builders say they have not been paid and will not be showing up Monday for work . I know he has a cash flow problem.
The RMBA association has NOT been any help and have not responded to my wanting to complain about this builder. If the roof goes up we will be liable for the next stage payment. What do we do? on the one hand we want progress but Im not sure he will last the race - do I just hand over the money and hope for the best?
Is there a laywers Trust account that we can keep it in to ensure it gets used on our build or returned to us rather than pay this guy who may be going under? Is there any solution for this sinking ship?
