Disappointing Experience with Jamie Campbell Projects – Would Not Recommend

I hired JC Projects, a builder based in Stellenbosch, to build a braai room extension at my house. My experience started off positively, but over time I became increasingly dissatisfied with the quality of the work and how certain aspects of the project were handled.

In my personal experience:

Some parts of the build did not seem to match what was shown on the approved plans, which later caused issues with the building inspection.

There were additional items added during construction that I had not clearly approved in advance, and I was later asked to pay more for them.

The roof sealing took several attempts before it was properly completed.

I often felt pressured about payments and found some of the communication around money confusing or inconsistent.

At one stage, I was told that funds were short and that I might need to cover certain supplier costs directly.

The tiling and painting work appeared below the standard I expected, with visible unevenness and poor finishing in some areas.

Overall, my personal experience with this builder was disappointing, and I would not use them again. I suggest that anyone considering this company make sure everything is clearly agreed in writing and that progress and quality are closely monitored.
