Being added: Wire confirmation for the deposit

Footings dug to 12 inches. The plans L&G gave me say 14. They fail inspection

My project record

L&G’s crew came in April to do the concrete. The engineered plans L&G provided call for 14-inch footings. The footings were dug to 12 inches and did not pass the county inspection.

I was charged extra to have them corrected. My concrete contract does say the customer pays if an inspector wants footers deeper. In my view that clause was never meant for the case where the crew digs shallower than the company’s own plans.

Being added: County footing inspection and re-inspection reports; the plan sheet showing footing depth; the invoice for the correction

A concrete pump charge that was not on my invoice

My project record

I was then charged for a concrete pump. There is no pump on the concrete contract I signed or on the Balance Breakdown.

Being added: Pump invoice and proof of payment

“Ready to pour.” I measure 4½ inches where I paid for 6

My project record

My contract specifies a 6-inch slab under the building. When I was told the pad was ready for concrete, I stood a tape measure on the vapor barrier and read it against the string line: about 4½ inches.

The photo shows one spot on one day. It does not tell you how thick the finished slab is. Core samples would, and that is on my list.

The building keeps getting pushed back. I ask for a refund and am refused

My project record

With the slab down, the building itself was delayed again and again. I asked more than once for my money back so I could hire someone else. L&G refused. Its terms say all down payments are non-refundable and all sales are final.

The refund clause

L&G, by text: the lift is mine for one week, and after that it is on them

Company statement

My order form makes the telehandler my job and the terms say it must be available for a week. Before I rented it I got L&G’s installation contact to spell out what happens if the crew needs it longer.

All the lift texts

Two days before the install date, it moves

Company statement

The building was set to go up Saturday, August 29. I had been told to have the telehandler on site the day before. On Thursday morning I asked for confirmation.

The deal on the lift, in writing, twice

Company statement

I told L&G’s contact I was not paying $3,000, and offered to have the lift there Monday if the crew was guaranteed to be. L&G’s contact agreed and repeated the one-week arrangement. I then paid $2,000 up front for the rental and had him confirm that this was the whole of my obligation.

The crew arrives, five days after the Saturday date

My project record

Installers showed up Thursday morning and started standing the frame. I had rented the telehandler for the dates L&G gave me.

Plumbing stub-ups damaged

My project record

During the install, PVC plumbing that comes up through the slab was left leaning, scuffed and gouged. My pre-pour photo shows those pipes standing straight. The photos from this week show tire tread marks on the slab around them. I contend the damage happened during L&G’s installation work.

Half a building, a demand for a different telehandler, and a request for the final payment

My project record

By Saturday about half the building was up. More than a week had passed since I rented the lift. I was told the crew now needed a different telehandler. In the texts above, L&G said anything past my one week “runs through us.” It has not supplied a lift.

L&G also asked for the installation payment. My Balance Breakdown lists that $8,568 as “due upon building completion.” The building is not complete and has not passed a final inspection.

Where things stand

My project record

Two hundred and nine days after signing, I have paid L&G about $93,000. I have a slab with cracks in it, damaged plumbing, and a steel frame with no roof and no walls. Work has stopped.
