numerous issues lack of urgency and planning , said job would be completed in a month only block work completed no roof no floor and issues raised by building inspector to be completed, walked off site when stage payment was refused unless work was completed wanted paid for internals when nothing had been completed internally or externally
Response from RussellBuild
Firstly, we agreed upon a contract with a scheduled payment plan. The first payment was due upon the completion of the footings up to the damp proof course, which you duly paid on the first day.
The second payment was scheduled upon reaching roof height, which you also paid. At this stage, I had progressed further by constructing the framework and installing breathable felt along with the fascias and soffits, all in good faith.
Following this, I requested the third payment as per our agreed schedule. This payment was intended to cover the completion of the roof work and internal works. At this point, windows had already been ordered. However, you refused to make this payment and insisted that you would only pay once the entire work was completed. This refusal was in direct breach of our contract and the agreed payment terms.
As a result of your breach of contract, I was left with no option but to cease work and leave the site. It was unreasonable and financially untenable for me to continue the work at my own expense when you had explicitly agreed to the staged payments outlined in our contract.
