******. Takes deposits & progress payments on the very little progress that is made. This man, who I thought was a nice person initially, has turned out to be a *****. Started with my project of enclosing my stoep in September/October last year & I am STILL waiting for him to come & complete the job. He comes up with excuse after excuse why he didn’t or couldn’t pitch. This job was meant to take 3 weeks. He also takes builders off the streets that he doesn’t know (he didn’t even know the one guys name when they were here a few months ago). What’s more is, the guys have come to my house 3 or 4 times looking for Jan because he doesn’t pay them on the day like he is supposed to:. Shame and the guys depend on their daily wage and are waiting weeks and months to be paid (if paid at all). Jan turns out to be a ***** running out of excuses & I wouldn’t go near him with a barge pole to have stuff done around my house in future. I’m just so sick of his lies & feeble excuses. Below are some of his classic excuses for not pitching to complete the job (spanning from Sep 2022 until today 23 May 2023). Just disgusting.

Hi Tina, sorry I have been on the road and could not respond. Pls can we do the ceiling on Wednesday then your electrician can come on Thursday. We were delayed somewhat on our current project. Thanks, Jan

Hi Tina, we will put the new ceiling in on Friday, I assume the electrician will be there on Thursday?

Hi Tina, sorry just got off the road. We were held up this morning with the wet weather and couldn't complete a major roof repair we are doing. We just need one more day ie tomorrow to complete the work. Pls can we do the ceiling on Monday? Thanks

Hi Tina, sorry the supplier has just contacted me now to say that they are running behind with their deliveries and they will let me know when they will deliver.

Hi Tina, just waiting for my guys. There is a transport problem, they are stuck on the way to work. I will let you know as soon as I hear from them.

Hi Tina, my guys are still stuck. Apparently there have been gun shots fired between the taxi drivers so the police has cordoned off the area. I will keep you up to date.

Sorry Tina it has been an upside day as I had to go and look for the guys but they are all safe at home now. I will let you know first thing tomorrow morning, still on the road.

Hi Tina, we will come through at 3pm this afternoon to fix in the NuTec board, I am going to the sites this morning to see the progress so that I can give you a date we can start. Chat soon.

Hi Tina, my apologies. I had to deal with an emergency repair that came up yesterday afternoon all of a sudden. Sorry I should have contacted you. Got back late last night. We will be there between 9am and 10am thismorning to sort the NuTec board for you.

Hi Tina, apologies for my late response, I will confirm all today as soon as I am back in the office. Regards, Jan

Hi Tina, thanks, I understand. Just going through the projects that will come to completion soon so that I can confirm a date asap.

Hi Tina, yes we are aiming to start on Monday. Regards, Jan

Hi Tina, apologies for the delay, we will start shortly. I will be in contact to discuss timing. Regards, Jan

Good morning Tina, apologies, I have been out of town but I am returning today and will contact you after lunch time once I am back.

Kind regards

Jan.

Morning Tina, I am getting the materials for the skimming work and will then fetch my builder. I will let you know when we are on our way. Thanks

Hi Tina, sorry I have been out to Mitchelsplain to look for my builder and labourer, they had transport issues this morning so had little signal where I was. I have now sorted alternative transport for them so that they can be on time. We will start tomorrow then and will be there at 9am. We will look at all the boards to make sure that they are secure. Thanks

Hi Tina, sorry I am running late, I am delayed by the brick yard waiting for your bricks to be loaded. I will let you know as soon as I am on my way.

Hi Tina, sorry been on the road all morning, I will let you know as soon as I am of f the road.

Hi Tina, I will call you tomorrow to discuss. I rather chat with you instead of going backwards and forwards on WhatsApp. I am on my way from being out of town, but I will be back tomorrow morning. Apologies for the delay, I also would like to get this project completed.

Hi Tina, I will give you a firm date by this afternoon.

Hi Tina, I am at the supplier waiting for the facebricks to arrive that matches yours. They had to order extras in for me. I will fetch my guys as soon as I have the bricks.

I will send you a voice message where my builder left me in the lurch for Friday where I have organized him to be available. Unfortunately Monday ie today did not suit me as I have lost my bakkie over the weekend and I am making arrangements for alternative transport. Showing our intentions to carry on with the work. So pls show this to the police as well. So I have a commitment from my builder as well to be available to finish the work.

No I have not the other builder is and was not available. But Bothwell has worked at your house before so I prefer him to be there in any event. He is my main builder.

I AM DRIVING AND WILL RESPOND AS SOON AS I HAVE STOPPED!
