Roof Trusses Africa

Build it and Rooftrusses Africa - not a good combination

I had a roof erected on my house. When the contractors claimed they were finished, they stated that only touch-ups were needed. It is a month later, and the company's director, Pieter, has more excuses than anything else to avoid finishing the work. Current issues: 1. The contractors drilled holes into the chromadec in the wrong places, and their solution to fix it - close it with masking tape and paint over it. 2. The facia board installed was not painted - so now half of the boards are dove grey and the others are white. And the white ones are installed in such a place that they can not be painted afterwards. 3. The faciaboards were attached - but in that process, the contractors thought it was a good idea to leave holes in the boards caused by hitting them with a hammer. 4. The side panels on the gables are installed with bubbles to such an extent that water leaks through these areas, and again, there are extra holes that are not plugged. 5. The cost of the chromadec was R 105 K - after the contractors installed the sheets - it looks like secondhand sheets due to the amount of scratches through the paint. 6. At other places, the *****s are sunk so deeply that they again damaged the chromadec. 7. Some of the *****s used missed their intended target because they could be removed by hand, so again, a few holes were drilled in the wrong place. 8. The plates used to seal off the knock on the roof were not properly fitted, so again, there is no barrier to stop the water. 9. The finishing touches on the roof are appalling, with open gaps and sections that were cut with a metal shear, and pieces just bolted onto sections where they clearly do not fit. 10. The edges of the chromadec have been bent to the extent that it can not form a seal, so again, the water can get through 11. The knocks on the roof are also full of bubbles, so it does not form a seal to prevent water flow 12. The corners of the roof - it is difficult to describe the workmanship, as the word poor installation does not provide a clear picture. At some places, the overhang is 15 cm, and at others it is 5 cm, where the roof is 10 cm. At some places, it is just a piece of sheeting that is again drilled into the chromadec with no finishing touches at all. When I spoke to the director to voice my concern, his response was:" They are only a phone call away." At present, they can not even keep to their guarantees on their website. So far, they have made promises every week to come and rectify the mess, only to cancel the appointment with the excuse that they are busy.
