Pure incompetance,unproffessional,cutting corners everywhere,scam atrist who preys on the elderly and a genuine thief,namely Darryl Fleming.
My mother donated a pool on my property. There was a December/January special that she got for the building of a pool and a lapa for R65 000.00. It was going to be our 1st pool.Unfortunately, the 2nd best quote was for R68 000.00 without a lapa. She got scammed and ost a lot of money. She then went to the 2nd cheapest quote and the pool was already dug out and cemented with reinforcement.Darryl flleming heard that my mother got ripped off and zoned in for the ****.His next quote was R40 000.00 and R20 000.00 upfront.Now this all had happened in January and Darryl took over the job in February.He claimed that it will take him 10 days and assured us that we would be swimming in no time. After his poor start,and very slow, he still confirmed that the pool would be done by the end of March. The 1st week he didnt arrive, the 2nd,3rd,4th week he dropped 1 Labourer off 1 day a week for maybe 2hours those days and disappeared another 2 weeks. My mother is a teacher and was going overseas to visit my brother.By this stage the season for swimming was over and he agreed to finish the pool before she got back. By this time, I and my sister were on his case to finish his obligations while all he wanted was more money.When he was according to him 3quarters of the way,we agreed tp pay him another quarter to assist him for completion.While he was doing the bare minimal while we were consistently asking where he was,all he was telling us was his problems with his personal issues and finally admitted to spending my mothers money. He should have been finished by end March. After my mom came back from overseas,nothing much had been done.He told my sister,myself and my electrician at the time to all **** off.This is his conduct towards his clients/customers.He then demanded another R25 000.00 to finish the job after he had aleady admitted to spending the money my mother gave him for the pool.Now its middle of November and this unproffessional incompetant scam artist theif still hasnt come near finishing the job.I gave you his name as well as the company he claims to own.Beware of this fine speciman.

DONT HIRE FRIENDS OR FAMILY'S FRIENDS
In my teens I got equated with some people that I genuinely thought were good people. After a long while of moving abroad and back we lost contact. Eventually I moved back to PE and bumped into them. I had previously been ripped off from a builder from a family member's relative that agreed to do change my garage into a granny flat. Because he was from a family referal,i didnt expect to be ripped off, but I was. On telling my long lost friends what had happened and they were in the trade, I decided to hire them. They were going to renovate and add extentions to the granny flat. I paid them a R70 000.00 deposit on 22 March 2017, and by September when they hadnt done anything, I asked for the return on my deposit. They refused to give it back and now I am legally pursuing the matter because it is likely they had spent my deposit on a new venture they opened or used as calateral.They are called Coastal Projects and claim to work as Partners. The electrician is Vernon and apparently is the owner of coastal projects and the builder is Riaan Botha. Its been 8 months now, I have been asking for my money back from 4 months back already. They have completely messed around my year.So much so, that I dropped out of my studies to focus on this dilemma. My plan was to have my flat finished by june to rent out. I am in the strong view that they used my money as a deposit or calateral to purchase the bar The Thirsty Turtle. So, my advise, would not to do business with such thieves.
