You can approach the concerned Civil Court seeking Compensation against the damage caused to your property arising out of negligence on part of the neighbour within a period of 3 years from the fact of damage having come to your knowledge. However, nature of damage must not be a remote one, that is, probability of happening of which as a result of acts of neighbour was well within the knowledge of the neighbour.

If I understand your query correctly, i think you are asking for options in case your property is damaged by the construction of neighbour's home. One option is to file a police complaint and get a FIR done under section 268 which is causing public nuisance. At the same time, you can also file a suit for damages to recover monetary loss that you may have suffered due to the negligent conduct of your neighbour.
