What a disaster - unreliable COMPANY We were very excited to build our house from this company. We always battled to get hold of him -how many phone calls and how many emails. Empty promises He was only 1 x at the house. We have paid our deposit in March 2023 and after that more money, every time its more money. Then that stock is used for another site. We always had the doubts whether we will be seeing him again. If you are looking for him, he busy on another site. Always excuses. We paid for a fence and a carport deck -he used that material for somewhere else. So many faulty issues. Up and till today I am struggling to get the occupation certificate. The quality of wood what we paid for and what we got was 2 different products. Never again will I build through this person again. He caused tears, fights in Mariage and stress and a divorce -which he had partly a share in This what supposed to be happy ending is a nightmare! He will trade under another name.

<p>We hired a Cape Town based building company called WHC to renovate our house in Rondebosch. I posted a review of the builder, Mr Lee Petersen's work in December 2015, detailing the stress we went through as a result of his tardiness and the poor quality of his work. (It took him a year to "finish" the renovation that he told us would take a maximum of 5.5 months). Unfortunately he is still not finished and the renovation cannot currently be signed off by the council! </p> <p> </p> <p>Lee started the renovation in April 2014 - to this day we have not received a plumbing or glazing certificate from him, despite over 100 calls / emails / messages to him (yes really). Furthermore, the poor quality of WHC's work, has resulted in us spending almost R140 000 to have our concrete floors and deck redone, as well as having to pay someone to finish the snag list and repair the roof. This amount is set to increase now, as the slab is cracking and the new roof has once again started leaking with the Winter rains, exposing the rush patch job that Lee did on the slab. (He simply poured bitumen all over it and told us that it was now waterproofed). We also have to pay a plumber and windows company to come in and inspect the plumbing and glazing done by Mr. Petersen and his contractors - any necessary repairs and the issuing of the remaining certificates, will be a further expense for us.</p> <p>I cannot recommend strongly enough that you DO NOT use WHC for any building work. I have emails, texts and photos to support all that I have said in this review and the one I wrote previously. Please contact me if you are even considering using WHC for any building work or renovations! </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

WHC started our home extension and renovation on 15th April 2014, and we were told by the owner, Mr. Lee Peterson, that it would take a maximum of 5.5 months. To date, we are sitting with a leaking roof slab, leaking windows, and numerous other faults (caused by shoddy workmanship), that I have been quoted R130 000 in total to fix. I have called him, emailed, texted, and WhatsApped him numerous times on a daily basis. He either does not respond, or promises to sort everything out on a certain date - then doesn't arrive, or sends a worker who doesn't do much. He also makes excuses constantly: in the last 19 months, he has broken his wrist
