The extension was completed after eleven months. The Brown’s have been reasonably understanding about this. However, they have made it clear to QE that this has all been very inconvenient to the use of their home and plans for the future and they expect compensation. QE’s final bill is £280,000. This includes £40,000 for delays and extra work arising from drainage and foundation problems and £60,000 for other extra work. The Browns' have paid a total of £160,000 and contend that their schedule of defects is valued at £20,000.
