We discovered/noticed this when the exterior walls were 2 meters high. They had to move around interior walls but that didn't help much.

My wife and I concluded that we got what we paid for, and you're right that in hindsight we should have taken legal action against the contractor. I don't know how breaking down the whole exterior of a house to fix it down to the foundation would feel though. At some point we thought of selling the partially completed structure.

Not your problem.

Well, it definitely is. Now you’ve probably got to wait for a lawsuit to settle and then the work to be redone. Even in the absolute best case, this puts the project behind by months, and that’s if they don’t contest it.

Honestly from what you're describing it should not have been that big of an issue. Exterior walls and trusses are very easily taken down and put back up again.

The foundation would be a pain in the ass but ultimately, as others have stated, that's kind of not your problem.
