Hi, sorry to stick my nose into DRA business - but we had a similar problem at Gannochy last year - builders came in to replace windows 2-3 weeks before dissertations were due. The people to contact are the warden (though it is nearly amusing how little power they actually have), Isobel Clifford (though she will probably pass it on), Ben Reilly, and the estates guy, Roger what's his name.
Good luck with this, we managed to defer work, but not til several people had been really disturbed, and the university did make it look like they were doing us a favour.
It's true, the university treat the people living in residences like crap mostly, they don't realise that it's actually where we live - our home - not some holiday we're taking.
I can't imagine you'll get money back, but that's cos im a cynical bitch. Good luck trying, let me know how you get on!
