Was the land flooded or at least very damp last year? If it was, it
suggests it's the site not the builder at fault. Compaction by builders
often makes sites look more flooded than before but if there's serious
deterioration, it may be they've "broken" something.

But you need proper advice on site.

OP should bear in mind that after the recent rain fields are flooded
in this part of the Netherlands, we don't see that often.

Yes I agree here, this flooding has happened after the recent heavy
snow falls in the area, I have never seen the garden flood like this
over the previous 9 -10 months I have been visiting the building site.

All other points noted and will investigate, thanks all for the
advise, I will have a word with the builder.
