EACON Building and renovations

This post is related to people who are interested in doing renovations or construction work. This is an NHBRC owned business called EACON owned by EBRAHIM ALLIE from Centurion but originally from Cape Town. His family owned a company who did tender work in the Western Cape. We were recommended by people close to us that this company is trustworthy and they have done work with him in the past. We had signed a contract with him to renovate our home in. We were told the renovation would take a few months. It has now been almost 2 years since and the work has not been completed as per the contract. We paid the owner in increments to complete certain task at the site. As from July 2024 work at the sight had started going at a slow pace and found that he has taken a number of shortcuts .When consulted with Ebrahim we were told that we should not worry as “we are on track with the schedule.” From October rumours around had come to us that the owner is bankrupt and will be running away soon. As soon as we heard this we approached him out of concern and were guaranteed it was false. 2 weeks went by back and forth with no response and no work being done on the site . In December we were made aware that 5 or more homes were also using the same contractor and were experiencing the same issues. Ebrahim has gone off the face of the earth with peoples hard earned monies. He is not answering or returning calls to us but is going about getting new clientele in a “new area” who he might be after to take other peoples monies. I am posting this to make people aware of this company and NOT to use him despite being registered with the NHBRC who seem to be as useless as he is. This company are clearly ******* looking to make easy cash off people doing minimal renovation and disappearing which has happened to someone in the area. He is living a luxury lifestyle, owning a Ford Raptor, BMW M2 and various properties etc. (clearly with the clientele money and not his own)
