[QUOTE="HomeOwner, post: 316345, member: 22298"] Like I said, we hired a contractor for the build who brought his own electrician, plumber etc. He assured us that he would take of all the necessary steps regarding building regulations. Yes, of course there is a contract. But don't we all know that often a contract isn't worth the paper it is written on (and it is a LOT of paper!) We have not waited so long. We contacted the contractor immediately after we found the first problems (a few weeks, probably less, after the building was "finished"), and have been in touch with him ever since. However, he has been stalling and deliberately tried to delay and obscure the matter. As for the technical stuff: See above. Those were only examples. And I am not an electrician and don't understand most of it anyway. Yes. We sent him several complaints. We spoke many times. He sometimes admits responsibility (not in writing, though), but then seems to forget about it. He also promised, several times (even in writing) that he would come back and fix everything. After a whole year of "reminders", though, it looks like he never intended to come back. As for the delay: see above. And the contractor was notified at the time. Regarding the "tampered": We have photos and even videos of the tests the other electricians carried out. Everything was documented and is on file. And: We contacted the contractor several times and reported the problems before another electrician touched anything. [/QUOTE]
