BE AWARE!! CONTRACTOR IS WOLF IN SHEEP DRESSING.

Mr Armand Te Brugge, a business owner / contractor of Valhalla, PTA for installing municipal water back up -, grey water - & water filter systems. Strongly referred to clients by Gerhard of Water Spot Centurion is not the reliable businessman with integrity nor general values especially to the elderly. After providing a valid price quote to me and further negotiations whereby it was agreed that I buy the main equipment on promotion and he will do the installation; we booked a date for the installation to start. I bought the main equipment (R16 940.17) as pensioner just to be "dropped" and left in the dark 4 days before he would have started the job of R17,342.32. A job in total of about R34,282.49. Reason: He cannot proceed because of a bad experience with another client who also had an open agreement to buy the main equipment, and he only proceed with the installation. Mr Te Brugge wants everything done under his company name on his own terms and marked up costs. Not a problem but why then get in a binding legal contract in the first place with an elderly client; telling the client he can save costs by buying the main equipment himself on promotion at the water accessories shop and then when push came to shove; he just sends a WhatsApp to inform the client he is sorry to drop you but decided to withdraw from the project; leaving the elderly client high and dry without a completed job and half of the equipment bought.

If Mr Te Brugge wanted to change his work company policy / rules & regulations to exclude any opportunity for a client to buy his/her own main equipment to save cost and only allow for ATB PUMPS & SOLUTIONS to provide & install everything from a - z, then he can amend it by a clause. Such an amendment's start date can only be after the last client he allowed by verbal / written price quote / contract to do it otherwise such as in my case.

Sorry to say it but it is a serious ***ardly ******* act, and Armand's attitude and business ethnics says a lot of his persona and commitment. His business strives on false pretences, and his word is not his honour. I will never ever recommend ATB PUMPS & SOLUTIONS to anyone in the industry. It seems they work by hook and ***** only and do not care for the SA Citizen as long as he receives money in his pocket. What a shame!!
