Unethical business practice paving

I would not recommend anyone from doing business with this company and with Frans. We paid him R63,000 as a deposit to do our 374m^2 of paving. He and his workers only showed op for 3 days, also with sorry excuses about why they could not come every day. Then he just never showed up, he blocked myself and my husband from calling him on his cellphone and he blocked us on Whatsapp. And there was no why to reach him, when we call from other numbers he answers, but cuts the line as soon as he hears it is us speaking.

So he made a massive profit off this "deposit" that was paid, but his workers, everyday, told my husband that Frans does not pay them. He dropped us with the entire project undone, he only laid about 60% of the paving (coping was not done), grouting was not done, compacting was not done and a mountain of rubble was left for us to be removed ourselves and we needed to get another contractor to finish the project and also pay them. We paid (according to his quote) for 374sm of paving, but only 330sm was delivered. This is a old guy and we thought everything looked legit, but we got a very big surprise. Please please do not do any business with him, you will regret it.

Luckily the company that we also needed to pay to complete the project, did a wonderful job, and the little Frans actually did, they fixed beautiful because that was full of mistakes and looked horrible.
