You have to ascertain your area of extent as well as your boundaries with the neighbor before starting the construction work and settle all the issue or else he may try to obtain stay of your construction and then you will be spending time on litigation only instead of construction.

Be sure about that before starting the construction

How we can defend against him to protect our building.He is having our 3.5 cent. Is there any chance to make it as an exchange of the property.

You can ask him to buy that portion of the property now he is illegally occupying or else you can file a suit to re-possess your property by filing a declaration and possession suit.
