Max's Irrigation

MAX'S IRRIGATION DOES NOT DELIVER

<p>What we contracted for:</p> <p>Total Quoted Price R6900 (I have the documents to prove all my claims, I also have photos of Max and his team working in the garden)</p> <p>1) Max would transport the plants that we cultivated from our old house to the new house +-10km and use them to landscape the garden at the new house.</p> <p>2) Max would clean up the new garden; remove all dead plant material and debris & work in the compost that we would provide.</p> <p>3) Chop down 2 trees</p> <p>4) Upgrade the current irrigation system and install a larger box to accommodate the 8 valves as opposed to the current 6 valves.</p> <p>5) Ensure that every cm of the garden is covered by the irrigation.</p> <p> </p> <p>What we got: Final price paid cash and signed for by Max R14500.00</p> <p>1) Max hired one of the guys with a bakkie next to the road at exorbitant cost. They would not do more than 2 loads for the day and did not want to carry heavy pot plants. I had to work very late that night to complete the task with my own bakkie & trailer and hire my own guys.</p> <p>2) Max and Joe (the landscaper) then disappeared for a week leaving me with 2 casual workers he picked up just a block away from where we are staying. They had NO clue what to do. I had to eventually hire my own guys to plant the the re-located plants as they were dying in the excruciating heat.</p> <p>3) I had to hire my own guys to chop down the trees as Joe then said he would not take responsibility for the work.</p> <p>4) 1 Box with 6 (not 8) valves. The placing and the wiring in the box was not only sub-standard, I also had to get an electrician to re-do the entire thing as there was constant problems with the system. I also had to subsequently replace and re-do the entire installation due to the fact that the work was poorly done (I have photos to show the poor quality of work that I got). I have had to pay some-one else to come and install the remaining 2 valves in a new box with all the additional costs involved.</p> <p>5) The irrigation system did not cover the entire garden and many plants and grass died due to lack of water.</p> <p>6) The parts that max installed were sub-standard and pre-used brittle/leaking plastic. Obviously pirated from previous jobs. I had to replace every single one.</p> <p>7) I eventually ended up having to re-do the entire project myself at additional cost and time wasted.</p> <p>8) During the time they were here, every single time Max saw me he harassed me for money. </p> <p>9) Max was hardly ever on site to supervise his employees.</p> <p>10) At the end of the day I re-did the entire project and wasted R14500.00 on a useless, incompetent, fly-by-night company that any-one would do well to steer well away from!</p>
