Despite the fact that the nineties have long been in the past, dashing morals still roam the vastness of the country. Although our law enforcement officers keep their ears open, you can lose your savings in no time. But the worst thing is that people are losing money that has been accumulating for years on housing. New member our portal under the nickname Andrei Sheikin told how he gave the money to the contractor and in return received an unfinished one.

How it all started

It all started with the fact that I decided to build a solid house, or to be more precise, a log house. For some time I prepared, raised funds and looked for contractors. Finally, I came across a seemingly reliable performer. I met this character at the exhibition of wooden housing construction in Moscow. Nothing foreshadowed trouble. We checked everything we could on it and nothing scared away. As a result, we got to the scam!

Contract and advance payment

4 August 2019 a contract was signed with a construction company, where my newly-made acquaintance was the founder and CEO. The subject of the contract was as follows: the construction company undertook to fulfill the conditions for the manufacture, delivery and production construction work for assembling a house kit from a rounded log on a land plot located on the territory Moscow region. Immediately upon the conclusion of the contract, an advance was paid. In accordance with the terms of the contract, or rather, clause 4.1, the completion date was specified: no later than April 10, 2020.

Streams of lies: we didn't expect this!

And then it began! Then there are no materials: a rainy winter in the Vologda region did not allow logging. Then a rainy spring did not allow the contractor to deliver materials to the site on a road with a completely hard surface. Then the planned team finishes work at another facility, and then this team is engaged the purchase of mattresses and other accessories for placement at the facility - that is, they provide life and prepare to work. All this began to worry.

Small clearance

But unexpectedly, after dozens of calls and messages to the contractor, a miracle happened: 30% of the total volume of house kit materials was brought to the site. The rest is ready and waiting in production, since there is nowhere to unload; but, according to the head, should be brought in three to four days. We waited.

The catch again

The workers arrived, collected the material they had brought and went home for a couple of days to rest and wash normally while the second batch of material was being transported. And they were gone! For three weeks nobody and nothing.

Again a gap, again hope ...

But in early May, when my house, according to the contract, should already be ready to move in, they brought another 30% of the logs and people appeared again. They worked until May 8 and again disappeared without a trace after the director received another payment under the contract. They left as if by conspiracy, quickly, scattering about 5 cubic meters of material on the bare ground and not covering anything from the rain. They left a mess. Apparently, they received wage arrears and decided not to work on debt for this organization anymore.

And again the old record

Then, until the end of May, the director's excuses poured every day. He accompanied the excuses with stories about his difficulties and that everything had been ready for a long time and was waiting for shipment at the factory. Another conversation ended with the disappearance of the director.

But in early June, he again got in touch and, with an interval of about three to four days, gave information three times, and promises that everything was going to the site: both people and materials. Only we never saw either one or the other. The director was just lying.

I also remained to blame!

Then, when his words lost the last confidence, two letters of guarantee followed and 06/23/2020 this respected director wrote to me via WhatsApp that he would not continue work and delivery materials.

As a result, today I have unfinished, damaged materials, a bunch of unfulfilled promises. And also losses are money transferred to the company's account for the supply of materials. But most importantly, I still have the contractor's dissatisfaction in my address, caused by my demands to complete the work and bring paid materials!

Conclusion

It is better not to contact such organizations - he is an unscrupulous contractor, installers work inaccurately and leave behind a lot of garbage. The assembly order is not observed, antiseptic treatment is not performed, there is no respect for the client, no documents have been received from the company.

What did I do wrong to have such problems? I know the answer to this question - I fell for a beautiful exhibition and a zero reputation as a builder. It’s zero, it’s neither good nor bad, and that must be suspicious. Any builder should have some kind of feedback and recommendations, as it is on normal exchanges.

Way out

The debriefing with the contractor is not over, I will not leave this matter like that. And the construction will continue, but with the help of proven craftsmen. I want to give the readers a life hack that will save money, nerves and time. If you need straight-handed and proven performers, look for them on electronic exchanges.

I like it FORUMHOUSE Exchange: there are real reviews here, and even a board of honor for the performers! You can see photos of finished works of masters, order any services: from a project to the construction of a turnkey house; from design to legal assistance. Bitter experience has suggested where to look for responsible contractors. I would have known before - I did not have such problems!
