Help - new foundation for my addition is not square. What now?

5 years ago

Hi experts! I am adding an addition onto my existing house that is roughly 13' x 15'. The foundation has just been poured (walls are up, backfill pending). My framer stopped by today to get some measurements and has warned me it's really not square - the outer wall (away from existing house) is 3" wider than where the addition meets the existing house. The top of the walls are also not level - to the point that you can visually see a hump in the middle of one of the walls. Is this normal?? Do I hold back remaining payment (about 70% has been paid) to the foundation concrete guy and demand he fix it? What options are there at this point?
