Week 66

Little news, I hope this is because work is due to start on Monday. However, I have still not seen a contract.

Week 65

The promised updated contract didn't materialise. Neither too was there any evidence that my compensation claim has been started.

Week 64

Met with the lawyer, architect and new builder to go through the amended contract. Some further minor changes to be done, but nothing where we need to meet again. The contract will be finalised and sent for signing this or next week.
 
The important news is that all is now fine and the builder will start work on 24 September with a contractual (i.e. 'CYA') deadline of 15 March 2013 but a promise to try and complete by end-January 2013.
 
Regarding the old builder, he has done nothing more and his lawyer is unreachable. He has had enough deadlines and now his remaining items will be cleared from the site and thrown away. He even told the new builder not to take the contract with me!!!!
 
He has not presented final invoices plus info on his calculations, as requested.
 
Next week my lawyers will work on my compensation claim which won't be small. But I fear that the old builder will go bankrupt before I get a cent.
