We chose our floorplan and lot in a subdivision in knoxville tn. During planning, I stressed the issue that we wanted our home to have steps going up to the front porch. We also made sure the home would have crawl space for our future wiring needs, so we would not have to drill on the exterior of our home. My husband also denied building on to our STANDARD DECK that came with the home, that he would build on his seld. The contract states that we would have a treated wooden deck, and crawl space. Our home is done and we just drove from VA to TN (my husband is military) to see the home for the first time. We arrive and the home has one HIGH step going to the front porch, is a slab foundation "no crawl space" and our "wooden deck" is nothing more than a block of cement. I have spoke with many contractors who say that slab homes are cheaper to build. But we were charged full price.. and we also do not have a deck, nor is our house higher off the ground then we wanted. What would you do?
Additional Details
Since my husband is military we have already closed on the home. Yes, all the specs were written down prior to construction.
