Review: After some time into the job, Parker started to make a lot of mistakes, which made him work faster, which in turn caused worse mistakes. These included: breaking the same water line 3 separate times, putting walls in the wrong place, saw cutting a footing in the wrong place, ordering concrete for the wrong day, misplacing the steel in the wall and failing inspection from the city, pouring the new foundation in the wrong place resulting in the building overhanging almost 3” over 4’, walls not straight, and the list continues.

It came to the point where every day there was a new and worse problem. To the end, Dave Parker would blame everyone around him - the architect for not drawing the plans clearly, me for not having reviewed his work as the owner builder, the framers for not curving the wall to match his concrete, even his own crew, but never assumed responsibility for what were clearly his own mistakes.

I was patient with Dave to the end, but his real colors shone when he opted to tell me that I had better pay him more or he’ll walk and his problems will become my problems. We had an argument and he was abusive and abrasive. He followed up with a substantial list of change orders and demands that were largely unwarranted or not possible to complete in a reasonable timeframe.

I was left with no choice but to fire Dave, despite the fact that he had received payment for work not completed. I had another contractor come in to correct most of his work and finished in a reasonable time frame.

To top it off – Dave decided not to pay his concrete bill, leaving me with a lien on my property.Desired Settlement: Removal of lien from property and compensation for correction and completion of unfinished contract.

Response:

This Job started normally as others however after a couple of days on the job my foreman and I discovered multiple Architecture errors, including onsite calculations with existing buildings versus plans. Immediately we notified the owner builder and this initiated the constant job changes in height’s, widths, lengths and the list goes on. Several times Parker Concrete requested to get in contact with the Architect, owner builder insisted on resolving all issues himself. Parker Concrete made every effort to complete this job in an affordable manner some changes where a given, some owed. Yes, I do admit I made a mistake related to this job which was an error to the steel placement. I resolved this with the plan engineer at no extra cost to anybody. As the job progressed things just got worse with design changes by the owner builder to the point I had to issue a STOP WORK NOTICE. Parker Concrete made several attempts to resolve the dollar amount of the change orders that were due. Unfortunately an amicable resolution was not reached between the owner builder and Parker Concrete which has forced this company to make the difficult decision not to pay the material bill until a resolution is reached.
