The Municipal Corporation would not have demolished the construction (even if it was by any means illegal construction) without giving a notice. What did your client do when he received the notice?
Yes, your client can definitely go after the builder, based on the terms contained in the sale deed. Please see whether there is any indemnity clause in the sale deed.

Why your client didn't approach you when demolition squad tried to demolish the construction?
Anyway, the act of corporation is illegal so compensation from both can be claimed.
