Seek legal advise/speak to a solicitor before any further action
Not sure but if he had public liability you may be able to go down that route
Even that the owner has passed away the workforce that works for him and his wife will obviously will oner and complete the project and build as the business still caries on with the company workforce and will complete the current tasks and projects that are outstanding and currently working on.
if the builder member of any organization such as FMB you can go directly to them , also refer to his public liability which you should received it in the same time with the contract
