NMC Construction not living out their own Core Principles - Bullying the small people

<p>NMC were the contractors for redoing the road outside our complex in Hilton for the new Life Hospital that opened nearly a year ago. We had to undergo several inconveniencies with reroutes to our home, BUT the main inconvenience, which resulted in damage to the structure of several of the properties in Callanish Complex was the heavy roller road impacter. It took months before the damages were evaluated by their own engineers, with promises that they would fix the damage, which then changed to offers of payment to us, so that we can arrange our own contractors to repair the damages. On 18th July 2016, we acknowledged that we would accept the amount in full and final settlement and were told that documents were sent to HO in JHB for signature. Then there have been delaying tactics since then such as we now had to sign a full and final settlement declaration that was on their letterhead, and that ALL the people who had a legitamite claim all had to agree and sign a declaration. We signed their required declaration on the 5th August 2016, and have still not received settlement, despite having met all their requirements. We have been passed from pillar to post and have communicated with Mike Bekker initially, then Ryan Schneeberger (Ops Manager) and they have tried to be very 'clever' with their wording in using the they will 'process' payment at HO. This is another delay tactic in settling the amounts to the property owners whose property has been damaged by the work carried out by NMC. Some owners have given up waiting and paid for their own repairs and perhaps this is the intent of NMC, to delay even longer, so we all eventually get fed up with this corporate business that has wonderful sounding Core Values expressed on their webpage, that they are not living up to, in this instance. We know of three other owners who have experienced exactly the same as us. What will it take for them to follow through promptly on what they have committed to doing..... </p>
