We've got a serious problem with our new house. While visiting the job site today, I noticed the first floor seemed to be sagging in one corner of the master bedroom. I couldn't believe it. I told the foreman, and he started checking it out. He went down in the basement and I could hear him yelling to the other guys. They were down there for about a half hour, and when I went down to see what was going on they met me at the steps and told me they had to work on something, and that they'd call me later. They never called, so I went back out and confronted them in the basement. I couldn't believe what I found. It was worse than when I left. Then entire floor had caved in. They were blaming it on the architect, who was already out there, saying the beams he specified were not adequate, and the architect was blaming it on them, saying that it should have been assumed that they also needed to use certain joists, blah, blah, blah... Bottom line is that the entire mess is caving in, and the builder says he wants nothing to do with it, and he's quitting the job. What do I do now?!? Somebody please help!
