The concrete team messed up on the foundation of our home and did the entire house smaller than it should be.
What is the best course of action? do I have them tear it all out and correct it or try to re-size the plans?

Construct the intersecting gable on the main roof for a faster, easier-to-build assembly.

That’s not a whole lot of info, do you have a designer or architect? It changes every aspect of your house and would essentially require you to redesign the house. You are going to have a bunch of issues unless you fully redesign, you can’t really just shrink everything.
It would probably be easier to find a solution to resize the concrete and not necessarily remove but I suppose it depends on how wrong it is.
How about a little more detail?
