Botched work is not the same as botched work. If a botched residential building is still habitable, the contractor is entitled to a larger portion of the agreed amount. I know of a ruling where a judge decided this way. I was surprised myself. Unfortunately, I can’t find it right now.
My roof has damaged tiles and an under-roof membrane that was left exposed longer than the manufacturer allows; the 4 roof windows are all installed at different heights with up to 14 cm difference and are mounted so high that you can only see the sky and need a footstool to open them, to name just a few things. But the house does have a roof and an under-roof membrane as well as 4 roof windows. My lawyer actually thinks that the entire work will be counted as zero for me. I don’t believe that for a second. In the end, it will come down to cosmetic defects, with a deduction of maybe 10%, then I’ve got the short end of the stick and the general contractor won’t be able to sleep from laughing.
