PROJECT EXAMPLE 4
Condemned Property - Dispute
Property in Dispute..
Home owner was left with a property structurally unsound, many jobs were totally wrong and half finished:
-
Beams not supported correctly
-
Steel beams sticking through external walls
-
Beam set higher then floor level
-
Roof heights not the same!
-
Site a complete mess
-
Brick work very bad with lots of cement staining and internal block work not fit for purpose.
-
Timber floor and roof joists cut too short!
-
the list was much longer than this....
On this job the only cause of action was to take full control and get the project back on track. Broken down to 2 stages:
1. Fix all structural problems and complete the structure and roof.
2. Second fix and finish the project as originally intended (well probably better)
Obviously after a bad start with previous contractors the clients were eventually very happy with the house..
Its not always the case as above and with some mediation and direction the original contractors can and do continue to work with the clients.
