I do not find any ground for applicability of section 409 IPC.
Builder is not accountant of client's money.

Builder/Developer comes under the meaning of Agent under the Land owner if any money was paid to him as advance for construction it will connote the meaning of entrusted the property and any misappropriation thereof comes under the purview of Sec.409 IPC.
