Hello,
We hired a GC for a fixed price contract.
The the delays have been unreasonable and now 4x as long as quoted.
Now we find out the sub trades are not paid and is most likely the cause of delays.
Is there any recourse or am I screwed? We feel at the mercy of these guys who have done a terrible job of managing the project.
I feel these guys will either string me along use funds from other projects to make enough of a payment to the sub trades so they will continue working. They most likely used my funds to pay for other projects as well.
This has been a cause of undue stress on my family as we are also renting mont to month and only budgeted for so much time out of the house.
This seems borderline illegal and truly unfair as we saved money to do this renovation to help our family
It’s also truly frustrating to see their instagram framing their company as family oriented and all positive with happy clients.
We feel like suckers
We are in Vancouver Canada.
Advice appreciated.
UPDATE:
Things have gone sideways since we brought up our concerns with the GC. Now they are just gaslighting us and saying that none of our comments are true. They say the subs are lying to us as they don’t want to come back to fix deficiencies. More BS. I had numerous requests for the name of the company so at this point screw it.

Be cautious to not make the same mistakes I did in believing them and their beautiful curated instagram profile.
