Thinking of suing builder.
Our builder on a new home abandoned the job half way through, he used unlicenced worker, didn't have workmans comp etc.
It cost me over 160K to fix everything.
We successfully made a case with his bond and got 7.5K. The CSLB have made an accusation against him and will be successful in that matter due to the large body of documented evidence we provided. However I don't know if they can impose financial penalties on our behalf.
Therefore I'm wondering if it's worth suing directly.
I know the builder personally has little in the way of financial assets. However his three sons are also on the licence and are part of his company, and they may have assets.
Ultimately though, I know the builder owns 2 acres of undeveloped land which I believe would be non exempt in bankruptcy.
Therefore if we have a strong and well documented case can I have opinions on going after the land in recompense?

It might make sense to go after the builder. However, this is a real cost benefit analysis at this point. Feel free to contact my office. We handle construction and construction defect claims.
Good Luck!
