The lady that works in the model home. She’s the go between for the builder they won’t give you his number everything has to go through her. It’s ridiculous.

Then have your attorney send her a letter.

Do not know your current situation, but I would not pay. IF, they knew in advance it is their fault. I had issues with a floor guy, long story short he did not get paid. I know a difference circumstance, but if you can hold out. It would make me mad at the 2 options they were holding over your head. Would not close until it is fixed. By you closing I would assume that means you are happy with the work and they are not liable for anything after that.

Who is the builder, so we know to stay away from him.

Sounds like some grade A bull****, if you as me...

Electrical outlet in the electrical plan no, did they know days after sit down electrical plan red line meeting that power was needed yes.

So an outlet wasn't on the plan. Did you issue a change order for this work to include it on the plans? What does the Contract you signed say with regards to this added work?

That is the answer. And the answer may be if its not on the drawings, the contractor can't build it. If it's on the drawings (Not just talked about during a meeting), then the contractor missed it and should install it.

Are the exterior outlets and the power to the jacuzzi the only two outstanding items that need to be completed before closing on Friday?

They are working on some other small things but yes that’s pretty much it.

Do not close, if you do, you have no leverage. Make a backup plan

Is the guy building your house the owner of the company?

No change order was issued, they didn’t say I needed one, they were satisfied with the pictures I sent and with giving them the installation instructions.
