Can a contractor be sued on a class action suit for delaying construction of prepaid tiny homes?

TennesseeConstruction Contract

Hi not sure if you can advise on Tiny home contractors. It seems there are not laws that protect from contractors that are requiring payment in full up front for the construction of their homes. Once the money is in hand there is very little or no communication on the build date. I currently have a friend that paid for her home a year ago. The trailer it is to be built on has the flooring down and plumbing. Which was posted on a co-construct site from the company in October, now three months later no additional work has been done and she is still waiting. As stated before her home was contracted and paid for a year ago. At that time the builder stated many times on his YouTube channel that the homes took about three months to complete. She also paid $6,000 for her leased lot in the builders tiny home community which was to pay for her lot rent for the first two years and a lot rent of 200 a month for the next three years and beyond. Her first year of free prepaid rent started the month she contracted and paid for her home (even though the home is not on her lot due to the companies inability to fulfil their order). She is not the only customer in this position while its impossible to know the number of clients effected it could be in the thousands. We know of contracts of at least a hundred that are not delivered. The builder who is over a year behind in construction, just sold one hundred incredi-box specials at 20,000 a unit cash up front to unsuspecting clients. If my math is correct that's 2 billion dollars collected up front. He can't even produce the homes that were contracted a year and a half ago. Many of these clients are veterans with limited income and or low income consumers. If sued I'm sure they could get their Money back, but the value of this home has doubled. The builder has people over the barrel, if they sue they are going to get their money paid back and the builder can then sell their homes for twice the amount. The name of the company is Incredible Tiny Homes (ITH) they have hundreds of YouTube videos on line. People have waited up to eighteen months unaware that it would this long Please don't use my name in connection to this inquiry, Can you advise if their are any current laws to protect or enforce peoples rights?
