builder REALLY feeling the pain

Spoke today to the owner of the construction company - and they are well of the fact that this issue rests solely in their sphere of responsibility. Better - they are tacitly acknowledging that fact.

Plan of action agreed to this afternoon:

  • Builder will construct a temporary but code compliant fence around our property to enable work on the pool to restart - no later than mid next week
  • Builder will file for (and pay for) the variance application
  • Builder acknowledges that I will be delaying a payment due now until AFTER the variance is granted - and that if it is NOT granted that we have a whole other set of issues with regards to compensation.
  • Builder recognizes that to get on the July council agenda that the paperwork needs to be completed by next week.

It is a plan - but it sure would have been nicer to be talking about construction completion next week than facing these hurdles.

I knew that this process was just going too well up to now!

Wow, what a royal screw-up. Nice to see you haven't changed much, would've loved to have been there for the conversation with the builder. Pool area looks awesome, hopefully we can make it out sometime when its done.

WOW! I'm so sorry! I am glad though that you are getting that far with the builder. I had a problem with a builder when we were having our condo re-sided, and it didn't go well for me. Of course, I didn't have full control of the money though either...that always helps.
