We instructed Darrol to complete a raft and drains on an extension.
The excavation and steel assembly was incorrect. It was signed off by buildings incorrect and incomplete. I instructed a structural engineer to advise him but he did not follow the instructions and amendments had to be made to adjust for this. He walked off site without completing the drains yet demanded payment for them.
I refused to pay for the drains and the additional costs that were added on that were not part of the contract.
I feel he took on work that he was not capable of.
Response from Antler Property Solutions
we found this to be a difficult client.
All my work got passed of by local authorities inspector and also her own independent trades person passed it of as perfect !
All was fine till it came to payments so I had to take civil action and was found in my favour .
I have learnt a hard lesson here check your clients up first as people are out there to rip trades of for there own gains !
