I would like to warn the public against this construction company located in Kameeldrift East in Pretoria. It is with great regret that I have decided to appoint the owner Jaco Bouwer to come and build a house for my family here in George. Jaco was very eager in coming to build for us at a good rate, for which we were of course very grateful for. But the gratitude quickly turned to disappointment when the project continued to be delayed after all approvals were in place. His contract stipulated that he would start construction 5 working days after municipal approval of the plans. It never materialized. He continued to place blame on people and activities beyond his control. But now that I look back, it was all in his own hands and came from a guy who was very desperate for cashflow. When the construction no longer happened, he then promised to repay all our money, and this did not happen after many attempts to return only a portion of the funds to us from March 2023. He said he would return everything before January 2024, and after he knew how desperate we were he just flat out ignored our request and his promise to do so. He put us in a very inconvenient, difficult position which caused many repercussions. Too many to mention here.. If you ever consider or know of someone who is considering using the man for any job, turn around and run away. I don't know if we are going to get the money back, but we are certainly not going to leave it there. We just don't want anyone else to go through the disappointment we are still going through.
I would have given them a One star, if it wasn't for the prompt pick up and delivery of my vehicle. Upon return, the driver didn't present the form to sign off the car. Only a day later, I saw 3 noticeable dents on the right side. I informed the company, and took the owner almost a week to respond (after I checked in again with them). He said they're not taking responsibility for it, as I signed a waiver (fine print on the form) that they don't take responsibility for whatsoever damage done to the car. Please be warned, although they're not a scam, their attitude towards handling this kind of situations is appalling. You might get your car back in the same condition, but if not just know any damage is for your own cost. Note that there are other companies that don't have this waiver, and cover your car whilst in their possession.
