Dutch term or phrase: door hem gepleegde investering
XXX is nimmer gecompenseerd voor de `ombouwkosten´, laat staan voor de door hem gepleegde investering van f 14.874,63.

I understand that he spent that money, but how to translate it in a elegant way??

Al suggestions welcome.
Thank you for helping me out.

xxx was never compensated for his 'conversion costs' not to mention his investment of f14.874.63
Explanation:
Is this a building dispute. It seems that 'ombouwkosten' was a cost incurred to put work right that had been carried out badly or incorrectly, in which case conversion costs would not be suitable.
Restitution or reinstatement costs possibly.
