ugh sorry to hear about the delays. that said, your comments seem to mirror a lot of stories i hear. i just have no idea how these guys stay in business.
is there any kind of stipulation in a contract to penalize a contractor for doing the job behind schedule or not completing a set number of hours of work per week? or is that simply not a thing they're willing to negotiate on? i imagine even if you were able to make terms you'd still have to be able to pay for litigation if they broke contract and that's money you probably wouldn't see again.
the concrete situation is eye opening...if i understand concrete work that would mean they can't pour an additional 2 inches on top of what's there, they have to fully demo the floor and start over right? i hope they make you whole on it. my garage suffers from really poor quality concrete and it makes leveling anything an incredible pain in the ass.
the subcontractor situation doesn't surprise me but it still sucks. are they at least doing a decent job? i hear a lot of people say that babysitting subs on-site is almost a requirement if the GC isn't there so that they don't constantly cut corners or screw up the plans, do you feel like that's been true?
