@Leonie Davey βLeonie, Iβm really sorry you and your family have had to go through this. What happened sounds incredibly stressful, especially after placing your trust and savings in a licensed builder. Your determination to learn, take control of the project, and make the home safe again is genuinely admirable. From a construction and estimating perspective, I would suggest starting with an independent building inspection to identify the structural, waterproofing, and mould-related priorities, then breaking the remaining work into manageable stages with a clear scope and budget. Please keep all contracts, payments, photos, emails, and reports carefully documented. I truly hope you find the right professionals and support to help you complete the home safely. Wishing you and your family strength and better days ahead.β
