Strandvest Projects - Beware!

<div>Dreadful experience with this company. Promise after promise not fulfilled. Most jobs done have to be done again. Plumbing his guy did was non - compliant and not functional. Willie wanted another R20 000 for this work, but refused to do a handover to show me that it works. Then he threatened not to come to work. Told me that I had to pay him ‘by law’. He didn’t come to work on the last day of the contract. He pitched the next day just after 1pm. Said that he’s on site to finish the job. My lawyer sent him a letter that evening to tell him he’s in breach of contract and he’s off the job. I am out of pocket. I do not have all the materials that I’ve paid for. I’ve begged him to bring it all on site. He would make excuse after excuse as to why he doesn’t have the materials. He would leave staff on site without materials. The staff would complain to me that it frustrated them. He goes into threaten mode as soon as he’s challenged. When I asked him to give me guidelines as to when work will be done to justify the incremental payments, he sent me an email to say that I must relax and that he knows what he’s doing. So, he wants payments along the way for work completed, but without specifying what will be done to justify such payment. On top of that, he refuses to do a handover. He said that he only does a handover when the job is finished. Why does he expect part payments along the way if he’s not prepared to stand accountable for it? I am exhausted and don’t want anyone else to go through what I’ve experienced. If he challenges me, so be it. If have documents and proof of all communications between us. I also have experts who have inspected his work who will testify that his work, In particular the plumbing, never worked and never was compliant. Believe the other negative reviews. They are telling the truth.</div>
