Basement development...3 season mud room
A law firm sent a letter directing me to remove this post and refrain from posting on other platforms about B Wise Contractors 2012 Ltd. My response is: "Freedom of expression in Canada is protected as a "fundamental freedom" by Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Charter also permits the government to enforce "reasonable" limits. Hate speech, obscenity, and defamation are common categories of restricted speech in Canada." I feel I have been clear about opinions, feelings and the details I have provided on behalf of my husband and myself. I have not engaged in any form of hate speech, obscenity or defamation. However, I will edit this post to ensure further clarity. Details: B Wise Contractors 2012 Ltd. was hired for the following project: Convert bungalow with crawl space to raised bungalow with full basement and small 3 season mudroom addition. Details: B Wise provided a project timeline of 2 months Homeowners vacated: August 23, 2020 B Wise had fully abandoned our property by or before October 29, 2020 Details: Pre-payments paid: January 2020 - $15,000.00 February 2020 - $15,000.00 September 2020 - $56,015.81 Total amount B Wise has obtained from us - $86,015.81 I have included pictures to substantiate how our property appeared between October 2020 - November 2020 (current). Please use your own judgement and discretion to determine if you feel $86,015.81 is reasonable. It is confirmed that we do not have roughed in plumbing to the proposed laundry room and bathroom. We do not currently have running water, electricity or heat. We are missing interior and exterior stairs and our walls are open to the elements. We do not have a basement floor slab. The backfilling, sidewalks, parging, grading and reseeding were not completed. The siding and finishing work is incomplete. Our top level of the house was not tied into the bottom level of our house. We do not have a 3 season addition.. Opinion: It is my opinion that Rick became progressively less personable after we had provided prepayment. Opinion: It is my opinion that B Wise Contractors 2012 Ltd. began demanding pre-payment well ahead of the percentage based work schedule. It is my opinion that Rick has been verbally abusive. It is my opinion that my husband and I were cooperative and willing to resolve issues. It is my opinion that B Wise put undue pressure and stress on my husband and I. It is my opinion that my husband and I have suffered unnecessary hardship due to hiring B Wise Contractors 2012 Ltd. Details: I received an email attached letter stating that B Wise Contractors 2012 Ltd. is pursuing a performance cost of 175,153.25. Feelings and opinions: We are beyond regretful about hiring B Wise Contractors 2012 Ltd. It is my husband's and my shared opinion that Rick and Peter are trying to cause us to lose more financially, as well as our home, due to challenging business practices. Details: $56,015.81 is indicated as the 50% - 75% project completion progress draw. It is our opinion that this amount was requested and granted at less than 30% of project completion. Details: Calculation showed that 86,015.81 is approximately 64% of 126,257.25 Feelings and opinions: My wife and I felt concerned because our opinion was that our project appeared to be progressively slowing down during the months of September 2020 and October 2020. My husband and I felt that the weather conditions in August, September and early October were typically optimal for our project. Feelings and opinions: It is our opinion that the current state of our property does not meet the prepayment value of $86,015.81. It is our opinion that our property is not 50% - 75% complete. It is our opinion that B Wise is in breach of contract. UPDATE December 1 2020: As of today they have put a lien on our house...is this the kind of company you want to hire?
