Need suggestions on how to proceed with construction work after dispute
I hired a building contractor on 2017 for construction of first floor (individual house) . On March 2018 construction started and till December 2018 brick work was also not completed, even after paying scheduled amount well before. Now they are demanding more amount and there is a dispute. Have paid 73% till now but outer plastering work is also not completed. Can you please let me know if i can file a complaint and continue with my building construction using other worker or i shouldn't construct till complain is resolved.

Hi sir, Thanks for your reply. We gave them time till Feb 2019 to complete project and after which they came up with extra amount apart from the estimate provided. So we informed we will hire a surveyor and value the building to settle this. But they are threatening us saying "we (builder) wont repay you any cost, file complain and you(me) cant start the construction work". They are not giving proper response too. Can i give them 3 months notice to repay amount and start the construction work in parallel. Coz its already 1 year since it started and its only first floor construction.

It is necessary to peruse contract signed by you with building contractor
2) if contractor has failed to complete work within stipulated period terminate the contract and sue the contractor for damages
3) hire another contractor
You cannot seek refund of money for work done till date
calll upon them to complete work
no need to pay extra money
contact a local lawyer
Yes you can give notice for refund and can start construction in parallel.
This is clearly a case which comes in deficiency of service under Consumer Protection Act. You can issue legal notice to him by engaging advocate and if he doesn't complete work than file a consumer complaint in which you can ask for refund of money and compensation.
The case also comes under Specific Relief Act.
Better, issue a legal notice through an advocate then you can proceed.

First give him a notice if you have written contract otherwise no need and start your work, he will go to the Labour Department definitely so notice is necessary for the purpose giving full facts of his negligence.
Dear Client,
It is your site so any hindrance created by them, you can file police complain and repayment you can claim through consume court.
You can hire other workers and complete the construction if there is no stay from court
If the contractor has violated the agreement conditions and not fulfilled the obligation then you can terminate his services and engage a new contractor for completing the construction.
You can issue a legal notice to the previous contractor asking for damages and also can drag him to consumer forum for claiming compensation against him
You can give him a notice and also start the construction work by terminating his services through the same notice.
You can drag him to consumer forum if he isn't paying the amount due to you.
