Essential Living Space

Absolutely incompetent project manager

This nightmare started nearly a year ago, when we decided to go to OPTIMA kitchens to do our new dream kitchen.<br> Daleen Spangenberg was assigned to help us as she consulted for Optima. Initially through the design process things were fine. Daleen amazingly decided to form her own company, Essential Living Space, and stupidly we decided to be her first customer, although the cupboards were made by OPTIMA. However when it came to delivery, it was one disaster after another. The disasters are too numerous to mention, however needless to say, we still don't have a kitchen we are satisfied with. She has zero eye for detail and equally pathetic project management skills. She continually made huge errors and does not follow up nor communicate to any degree. Due to the numerous incompetent errors from Daleen, we had to order food (at our own cost) for two months, with little concern from her side. So my advise, stay well clear from this supplier, even if she morphs into another company. She should not cook in, let alone design and project manage a kitchen. Search for any supplier besides Essential Living Space, if you want to keep your sanity.
