Dishonest Construction Company

We hired a builder named Muzi (Banike Development Services CC) in September 2018 to do some renovations at home. He goes under Banike training centre on his company docs. He has never met any of his deadlines as initially promised. A project that was promised completion in 1 month took 3 months but only 50% complete. He asks for payment upfront before moving forward or doing anything.

We have paid him R50000 in advance than we should have as he was supposed to do further renovations. He misleads on his quotations and changes the amounts as and when it suites him. He also uses the cheapest labour and materials.

Since then he does not answer his phone nor replies to any messages.

I have tried making several attempts to contact him with no success. I do not recommend that anyone uses him or his business at all. His quality of work is very poor and he never is on sight or pays his workers as they are always asking us for taxi fare and payment. He is dishonest and a thief.
