The building nightmare continues...

<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>
