The start of the home building process is meeting with the builder to get an outline of what is going to happen. You will have to sign a contract. Buried within this contract is usually a timeline for the project. There will also be information about what you can do if the project isn't complying with the term of the contract.

Construction delays can come from unexpected issues
Construction project delays can be very frustrating for the contractor and the person who is having the project completed. Many of the delays that come with projects are due to factors that can't be controlled. The weather is an example of this. Supply shortages are sometimes another cause.
You have options for handling a construction dispute
Trying to choose the best contractor for a job takes a lot of research that includes vetting out the company's history and checking references. There are times when you might hire a contractor who just doesn't do the job you expected even though he or she had excellent references and a great project history. When this happens, you have a few options that you can consider.

Take action when there are issues with construction projects

In some cases, the issues that occur are more than just a minor inconvenience and will dictate the need to take action.
Protect your investment from substandard work

Considerations: A crucial concept in construction contracts
When you hire someone to do construction work for you, chances are good that you will have to sign a construction contract with that company or individual. You should make sure that you read over the terms of the contract carefully so that you know what types of remedies and limitations there are for the project.
Don't let contractors get away with shoddy work
Contractors are expected to be ethical individuals who do the jobs they are hired to do. Unfortunately, there are some unscrupulous individuals in this field that will take advantage of what they deem easy money. This puts customers at risk of getting shoddy work done or simply not getting the work done at all.
