Spain House Build - Building Started

So, after being told around the time of the above post that the builder expects the house walls to be up by "mid September", i went by yesterday and nothing has happened again. He's again blaming the 3rd party builders, and saying he needs to find some new builders to take over. I let my frustration take over, and told him i had been considering cancelling the contract since July and had been beyond patient up until this point but enough is enough and given the current situation i have no confidence he can deliver and how it could easily be another 2 months before he finds someone else to start the project.
It would help his case a little bit if he had at least delivered on the non build related queries, but it's radio silence on those too.

I got in touch with another builder i briefly spoke with back in July on the phone. Have sent him the documentation for the build, so will see what he says.
 
Cheers. I'm open to conversations with the existing builder but i think i'd want to amend the contract to include multiple financial penalties and compensation. I mentioned something similar earlier in the thread but never had the conversation with him as we started to see a little progress. However we've now really lost belief and i think it's better to cut ties whilst it's at the current stage than have any small progress.

The main concerns are around financing a new builder. Whilst we've not paid the existing builder a huge amount, there's probably an element we'd need to reclaim and who knows how tricky that could be. The bank will then only pay out at various stages and so we'd need to try and hope the new builder could self fund to hit the first bank payment. We have some cash, but not massive amounts
 
doesn't everything stop for the summer holiday in Spain ? if your developer is starting any new builds must have the same issue of finding builders;
couple of medium builders I know in uk have a team of people 15-20 and are doing multiple builds/renovations in parallel for the economy of scale,
and you can see what tasks are ongoing by their prominent builders signage, but it sounds like builders in spain maybe much smaller concerns ?
