This query is : Resolved
We shifted in our new house and we find that many places plaster is uneven which is now visible to us after paint is done . Secondly our boundry wall design is also dissimilar due to which it is looking awkward . We have told contractor about these problem and in reply of that he say that why didn't you tell me when plaster work was going on ? As I have already mentioned that these problem are visible only after paint is done so how can we detect earlier.
It was written in our contract that last payment will be given at the end of work only after we are satisfied with his work .
He also didn't finish the work in given time period. He took 45 days extra.
My father works in police wireless department so our contractor has given a application to superintendent of police in which he mentioned that we haven't given his remaining money . This morning one known person from police has called us in evening to settle the issue between both the parties.
So I want to know that are we bound to give the full amount or what can we do in this case.
