What are the time limits to file a civil claim for breach of contract in Trinidad and Tobago?

Question

I signed a contract with a local builder last year, and they failed to complete the work as agreed. I want to sue for damages, but I'm not sure how long I have to start a civil claim in Trinidad and Tobago or what steps are required. Should I try mediation first or go straight to court?
