Pleasure to deal with
We bought one of the houses previously reviewed on this forum however can say that our dealings we had with the new owner of Eco Log Homes was an absolute pleasure to deal with and resolved all the issues the home previously had. We can highly recommend Eco Log Homes to build your dream wooden home!

Poor building quality
<p>Eco Log Homes built our log home, which we thought would be our dream home. Their quotation was definately not cheap for the house, but their building quality was terrible. When we moved into the house, we had to fix a lot of building errors. We discover all the building errors after moving into the house and stayed in the house for a few months. During the snag list all the hidden errors were not discovered. the builder knew about it but he kept quiet. The building contrctor had an attitude against us, after we required some documents from him for which we paid and he refused to hand it over due to the fact that we did not agree to pay for certain services which was not stipulated in the contract. During the construction process, the architect was not once involved to check whether the architectural structure was built according to the building plans. We will never recommend this company to anyone who think of using them. We terribly regret that we used them for our house and are of the opinion that they ask a lot of money to built the house but their work is of a poor standard. He also uses unqualified electricians, plumbers as well as carpenters to work on a house.</p>

WOODEN HOUSE AS SOLID AS A ROCK
I stumbled on a negative report on Eco Log Homes and felt compelled to relate my opposite experience with the same company/person. They built my wooden house in an up-market Johannesburg suburb and after three years I am still completely satisfied. The house is built to extremely high construction standards, because, unlike in the USA, wooden houses are not common in Jhb, so the bank and building regulators are extra strict. The result is that I now own a house that is stronger than a brick house. Some finishes were rustic, but when I pointed this out, Werner was more than willing to do whatever I wanted to make it look more sophisticated. We had our disputes, as with every building project I have ever done with other builders, but I found Werner to be reasonable and fair. We were always able to come to an agreement. My only complaint is that the snag list took a long time to be followed up on, mostly because his team had moved on to a remote location, and I had to wait till they got back. But they eventually came and all was sorted. I don't hesitate to recommend this builder.

Dishonesty
Mr Slabbert ' s company had to perform some remedial work on a log home that he built for us due to the fact that he used unskilled workmen on our project whereby he promised us that he will hand over our engineering certificate which we paid an amount of R20.000. The remedial work has now been done and all monies paid to him but he is refusing, despite 2 letters from our Attorney whereby they instructed him to hand over the engineer certificate. I think this is nothing else than a dishonest act. Please refrain from using Eco Log Homes when you want to built a log home!!
