The agreement should specify a cure period, any adjustment to the payment timing, and the option to withhold further payments until the milestone is certified complete or an agreed remedy is delivered.

If delays persist, consult your lawyer and the builder to agree on extensions or remedies. The key is to make the process predictable so you aren\u2019t trapped in a cash-flow mismatch when progress stalls.","answer_source":"openai_conversational_breadcrumb","category":"Building & Renovating in Khao Lak","category_slug":"building-in-khao-lak","confidence":"grounded_in_approved_property_guide_context","created_at":"2026-09-19T19:32:49+00:00","daily_publish_cap":3,"date_published":"2026-09-19","display_date":"2026-09-19","drip_batch":"2026-09-20","drip_status":"daily_auto_published","freshness_warning":"Property prices, availability, construction progress, rental rules and legal requirements can change.
