ᐅ No Construction Start Date from the Home Builder! What Can We Do?

Created on: 14 Jul 2022 05:41

Unfortunately, we were misled by the sales talk of a prefabricated house builder saying, "you will have moved in by the end of the year." We do not have a fixed construction start date in the contract! Is this legal? Can we possibly challenge it?

We are now being stalled. The company claims that production of the house will only start once the foundation slab has been approved. We are responsible for the foundation slab ourselves, but as long as I don’t know when the house will be delivered, we won’t pour a foundation slab that might just weather away.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

First, take your time to properly pour your concrete slab. It involves more work than you might expect. I spent a good 3 months completing mine. (Without an excavator)

Exactly like that and no other way. Period.

Yes, it is legal. You signed it.
What do you want to challenge?
It would have been wise to have the contract reviewed before signing. Also, it is often faster if the foundation slab is arranged or ordered through the home builder company.
But now it is as it is. Take care of the foundation slab and gather information about the next steps before anything is due or artificially delayed.
Read the contract again before any other issues arise.
Unfortunately, I get the impression that you somehow want to back out of the whole homebuilding process – for whatever reason.
