Hi all
Need some advice what best course of action when your not happy with the finish on our extension. 4months after the original completion date, we have just completed a snag list with our architect.
There are lots of little problems which a good DIY person could do.
However we have some major problems the worst being a sloping floor, a badly finished roof (we got independent surveyor report) and 4x folding internal doors which have been hung badly, we pointed all this out weeks ago, so the builder made a 2nd attempt to rectify the problems, I told the builder when he was redoing these jobs if he wasn't able to do the job for whatever reason (as I could see that the lads were struggling to get it right) then leave it and we will get other tradesmen to do it as I didn't want a patch up job, I wanted it done properly.
The architect admitted the finish was very poor. We owe builder about €9k im afraid he will come back and patch up the roof and ask us if we can live with the floors and doors then look for payment. We got a quote to fix roof €3500 the doors €2600, The smaller items estimated €1k.
The floors cant be fixed unless we take up whole downstairs flooring and remove our new kitchen, I cant go through lifting the floors for a 3rd time + the risk of damage to kitchen + the money we have wouldn't cover this so i am being force to live with the sloping floor,
Do I have to let builder try to rectify the roof and doors for the 3rd time?
I know he has a cash flow problem so he cant afford to spend money on doing the job right which involves ripping off whats there and replacing properly.
If I have to "live with the floors" should I be expected to pay the full amount? I mentioned this to Architect and he asked what discount I wanted, I have no idea as I am so unhappy with everything all I want is the job done right.
Any advice on my options?
