I had signed a construction project for a granny flat and like to know where I stand with these:
I am at a stage of choosing inclusions and add non-standard inclusions. I am wondering if the builder can suddenly introduce a $250 admin fee not disclosed for choosing non-standard inclusions, and a $250 admin fee for amendments. These fees are neither explained or acknowledged in contract signed. When signing the contract, it was made known to them there are non-standard inclusions to consider and was told it is ok to add later and they will price it accordingly. No where it states this comes with these fees.
Also, their advertising brochure says it takes an estimated 3-4 weeks for design and CDC approval, yet it takes them circa 4 weeks just to get the survey done, and circa 13 weeks for design and CDC approval. Do I have grounds to claim compensation from false/misleading advertising?
Thanks
