NFC CONSTRUCTION TECH

We signed the contract on 2-July with a start date of July 12 and an estimated completion date of Sept. 30. ~11 weeks.
As work progressed the project fell ever further behind schedule. We were able to move back into the majority of the space on Nov 11 (17 weeks). We were able to start using the kitchen again a week later. At that point the remaining work was not more that 3-4 days of actual work and yet it was Jan 8 (25 weeks) that we got final inspection, and February 2 before the punch list items were finally completed.
The delays would not have been an issue had we seen steady progress on the job, but weeks would go by with only single day's work, or sometime no work at all. Even more irritating is that calls, emails, even text messages to find out the status would go unanswered.
There also seemed to be issues between Nick and his subcontractors. The cabinet maker showed up right after the framing was finished to measure.  When asked how long till they are finished the answer was 4 weeks. 3 weeks later he arrives to measure again (at this point the drywall is finally done) and asked again the answer is now "3 weeks". He finally arrives to start installing 4 weeks later, and the cabinets aren't finished until mid December a full month after he started installation.
Electricians were a similar story. They would show up and do a bunch of work (but not finish) and then weeks would go by before they would return to finish the job.
The form doesn't ask for a letter grade for "planning" but if there were one I would give Nick an "F". For example he failed order enough tile.  Not just once but three times leading to delays and otherwise unnecessary return visits by the tile setter.
In the end we are happy with the results. The workmanship is good and the price is right, but the delays and lack of communication were inexcusable.
