    Scott M********* and Rhineland Construction Ltd. was contracted to do renovations on our home, gave us a rough estimate of $90,000.00 and asked for 50% as deposit plus GST. Agreements pursuant to the contract were made with us by Scott M********* that were not complied with by him or Rhineland Construction Ltd. Scott M********* was* away more than he was on our job: he took 9 days off at the start of our renovations for his personal move, then left the Province for 2 weeks to visit family (telling us he would only be away for 4 days), ended up being away for over 3 weeks of the 6 weeks the contract remained in affect.
    Scott M********* brought in trades, but directed us to work directly with them and pay them directly, instead of paying them with the deposit we gave him (only paying 3 trades from our deposit). Scott M********* also instructed us to hire trades to do work that was in our contract for him to do, and never provided us with an updated budget (contract required it to be provided on our start date). Scott M********* kept assuring us we were within our budget as we went along taking off and adding thingsto the list, ultimately going over the budget by over $20,000.00.
    Scott M********* also mislead us, for example, in advising us why he could not comply with agreed upon start dates for our renovation, telling us that it would take several months to receive BC1 paperwork because of Covid 19, when it only took 3 days for another excavator to get one for us: we subsequently learned that his excavator was on another job and THAT was the real reason for the delays. When we confronted Scott M********* that his misleading statements were "lies", he replied "You're confusing lying with protecting your best interests".
    Scott M********* left his 'personal time' blank on the final budget (when he was asking for even more money). We fired Scott M********* and Rhineland Construction Ltd. at the 6 week mark, and he kept the balance of our deposit (and our house key). ****

Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date.
