Lot grading and two new driveways

Hired to grade property, build a new driveway and rebuild an existing driveway. 2 stars for the price, issues during the job and results below. I hired Citywide based on their price and seeing other works completed by them in the area, but the work completed on my project does not appear to be the same quality I've seen on their other jobs.
- Locates were not going to be called for to confirm any existing underground services and utilities. By law you must call for locates before any excavation takes place.
- The granular base was not going to be the appropriate depth per the quote unless I brought to the workers attention. 18" was quoted, 6" was going to be provided.
- Communication is an issue between employees and Citywide owners where they are not onsite much and the workers do not speak English well.
- New driveway layout/orientation was incorrect even after communicating to the owner and employees multiple times. Had to be corrected.
- Stair landing pad height was communicated to, and a final elevation mark was provided from the start, and reiterated to many people onsite. Yet the final height is 4" lower than required.
- A substantial amount of water ponds at the end of one driveway.
- A seam can be seen where material ran out and new asphalt was received to place later. This driveway was also not lined property to be one continuous slope from top to bottom of driveway. There is a 'V' at the end before it has to rise to meet the sidewalk.
As requested on their final day I paid in full, but I should have held back some payment to ensure these construction quality issues are fixed. The grading work and care was done well.

Bathroom

DISASTER!
Citywide hired incompetent subcontractors to renovate my bathroom. Their so-called plumber used plywood nails to attach the pipes they damaged.yes, I said nails used to attach pipes. The plumber didnt cap the pipes to the shower and the water leaked all night until my kitchen ceiling came down the next morning.
They installed 12x24 porcelain tiles directly onto the studs, they cut the lip on the bathtub and tried to install it without bolting it down, they did not install drywall and covered up MOULD and said there was none. Never used water proof materials around the tub or floor.
Citywide caused tens of thousands of dollars in damages to my property and refused to compensate. We are going to court.

Approximate cost of services:
$10,000.00
