Imagine building a house and the builder says "sorry I took so long I just kept failing inspections because I didn't install things correctly"....contractor is completely at fault and probably not competent to build a house.

Ok it might be his fault technically, but legally you'll need to establish negligence (i.e. that his work fell sufficiently below the standard of care for the industry). It's always hard to establish that the service fell below the standard of care. |
Actually not in this case. If a government inspection entity such as a building department issued multiple deficiency reports and/or red tags relating to work not meeting code it is pretty easy to prove in a court of law. Of course most construction related claims never go to court but often end in arbitration or mediation depending on what method the contract assigns as first resolution. Trust me I do this every day....
