Hello, We are condo owners in museum park. We hired a design company and their recommended contractor to renovate our bathroom. It is 6 months since demolition and we cannot complete the project due to a bad design, inaccurate measures etc. The original contractor has pulled out of the project completely and the design company does not want to take accountability or help fix the problem. We cannot afford to renovate the bathroom again. I do have the contract with the designers, the original contractor never provided us with a formal contract even though they told us he would. We don't want to spend money on lawsuits but If it is a way to reclaim losses and complete the project, we would be grateful. Thank you for your time Tatiana + Terry Doyle
I feel your pain. And, I wish I could tell you that there is an inexpensive, efficient way for you to recoup what you've lost. But, I have been representing people like you for nearly 26 years, and I wouldn't want you to move forward without knowing the risks. You must decide, once and for all, if you want to spend more time, money, and energy on getting the original (bad) contractors to own up to their mistakes, or forge ahead. I know that it is a hard choice, but in my experience the better option is to bite the bullet and start over with a better design team and better contractor. Maybe you can combine both in the form of a design+build team (they are available almost everywhere).
Sorry that I couldn't give you better news, and I am talking myself out of a job here, but if you are worried about paying Attorneys' fees, don't put yourself (or your future lawyer) through it. Best of luck.
