Home builder refuses to build driveway approach
Hello all,
I bought a new build last year in southern ontario (Windsor) where I expected the driveway to be done by the builder (Seiko homes). I received a call from him a couple days ago saying he will not do the driveway approach unless I pay $1700 and that if I don't pay, he will do the driveway only. FYI, since this is a new term to me, The driveway approach is the last 3-4 feet of the driveway.
The only clause he referenced is the one here which we (builder, and owner) crossed out, meaning it's not applicable. The last sentence seems pretty black and white to me, that the purchaser (me) is responsible for the driveway approach. Since this is crossed out, doesn't this imply the builder is in fact responsible?
I have reached out to my lawyer but would always appreciate additional insight
Thank you
