Chelsi Technologies, LLC (“Chelsi Technologies”) entered into contract with *** *** in December to rebuild her fire-damaged property. Chelsi Technologies was paid $223,to date for the construction
The total contracted Construction amount was $316,Chelsi Technologies was in addition paid $27,in construction management fees of which $4,685.50 has not been paid. Chelsi Technologies suspended work in order to address the number "out of scope" work items. The “out of scope” items were items above and beyond the contracted items that were specifically and verifiably requested by Ms***. While Chelsi Technologies was attempting to sort out the several and expensive “out of scope” items, it received an email on Nov 5, from Ms*** stating that the contract has been terminated by herChelsi Technologies performed the work to such an extent that the badly fire-damaged home was given an occupancy permit and Ms*** has lived in the home for months. Chelsi Technologies was willing to complete the work. The substantial work Chelsi Technologies performed or specifically supervised is of high quality. Despite ordering the substantial number of out of scope improvements, some of which were performed as strictly a courtesy to a friend, Ms*** will not pay for the additional improvements.

Mr. C[redacted] has told a version of this matter that is full of lies and untruths. First and foremost, he is not and has never been a friend of mine. There is a familiarity of him because he used to be a member of and attend the same church I attend. I did not purchase materials that would cause poor workmanship in this project. Items I purchased were new interior and exterior doors, windows, flooring, lighting fixtures and cabinetry, much of which he directed me to purchase at certain retailers. I personally purchased those materials because Mr. C[redacted] exhibited a desire to spend excessive funds from the beginning from other retailers, and I could see that finances could be saved in several areas. As far as the contracted amount of $316,000.00+, Mr. C[redacted] made it clear to me that this amount was intended to be in excess, as he always placed a "cushion" in his estimates, in case building issues/ problems arose, but assured me that the house could be completed well below the estimate.  He originally told me that the structure and add-ons would be around $27,000.00 with approximately $30,000.00 to spare. That's the only reason I gave him the contract, knowing that I would have enough funds to pay him the asking fee of 10% of the total cost to build my home. Eventually, I ended up hiring an independent consultant to mediate, consult, due to Mr. C[redacted] apparent lack of correcting issues and moving the project along. Only after his "handymen" proved to be unprofessional in their workmanship (of which he did not supervise) did he inform me of their termination and advised that he had no other workers. I referred him to individuals that had completed remodeling projects for me in the past. At that time, Mr. C[redacted], not myself, hired Mr. [redacted] to do work within the house. I did pay Mr. [redacted] separately, as I no longer trusted Mr. C[redacted] and his professionalism, especially after he kept refiguring budget numbers, facts and deadlines, many times, refusing to be forthwith with financial figures, so that I could rectify my budget. I did receive several move-in dates, from Mr. C[redacted], which passed unsuccessfully, as Mr. C[redacted] constantly made excuses for not finishing my home. I was assured that the home was "move-in" ready in mid-October
2016. I found this to be untrue, when I moved in on October 15, 2016, as there was no fully functional bathroom and plumbing, heating, drywall, painting, as well as numerous "punch list" items were not completed. Mr. C[redacted] was still granted access to my home to complete these tasks, to no avail. Only after Mr. C[redacted] refused to reply to the appeals from myself and Mr. [redacted] to complete the tasks by November 5, 2016, did C[redacted] a cease and desist notification. Before hand Mr. C[redacted] was given several weeks notice to clean as much of his equipment from my garage, so that I could start moving my property inside, with the anticipation of the October move-in date. I sit in a home now, that has cracking ceilings & walls, uncompleted drywall/ paint repairs, incorrect electrical work and incorrectly installed plumbing and heating items. As previously stated within my initial complaint, this is just a highlight of a few of the issues. There are damaged nd missing property issues s well. None of these supports his claims of his poor workmanship, unprofessionalism or the results to my home.....and this doesn't even start to address the matters/ issues of the exterior of my home.  The bottom line is that Mr. C[redacted], being the general contractor, had and contracted to supervise his workmen and provide quality work, which he has proved not so and has failed to do, at my loss. In short it shouldn't take almost a full year in order to build a house. Mr. C[redacted] drug the project out, asking for funds, until he found he could no longer receive "draws" without justification, then he stopped working on my home. When confronted with this issue, he simply relied "he had to eat", meaning that he gave preference to his newer projects, that allowed greater financial gain.

Mrs, [redacted] invested $20,000 in Chelsi Technologies, LLC. in November of 2014. At that time she expressed an interest in having a garage built and driveway constructed. Chelsi Technologies submitted a quote to her. There was no discount offered as a condition of receiving the investment.  To...

date there is no contractual agreement to construct a garage at her residence.  She also needed assistance in the completion of work and repairs that another contractor was in default of. Chelsi Technologies completed 95 % of the interior work. There was / is no contract to perform and / or complete the interior work.  Chelsi Technologies has began the process to return the investment.

I reviewed Mr. C[redacted]'
response on behalf of Chelsi Technologies, LLC and find that Mr. C[redacted] is
not presenting truthful information concerning this matter.  It is
true that Chelsi Technologies, LLC, completed a substantial amount
of work on my behalf involving another contractor prior to this
matter.  I would note that Chelsi Technologies, LLC, has not completed all
the work it agreed to complete on that project.  In addition, I would
also note the reason that my late husband and I were going to allow Chelsi
Technologies, LLC, to build a garage and driveway for us was because
Mr. C[redacted] built up trust with us and convinced us that he was a
reliable, dependable and trustworthy contractor.  For the record, as
Mr. C[redacted] pointed out, there was no written contract for that project. Nevertheless,
this current situation has nothing to do with the prior matter. 
Turning, now to this
matter. Mr. C[redacted] presented us with a quote of $26,918.00 to build a
garage and do some driveway construction.  Mr. C[redacted] stated that
if we would pay him $20,000.00 in November of 2014, that he would give us a
discount of 6,918.00.  We paid the $20,000.00.  This was not an
investment.  This was a payment for services to be rendered.  Mr.
C[redacted] indicated that he would begin construction in April, 2015.  I
have attempted many times to contact Mr. C[redacted] prior to me filing this
matter with the Revdex.com,  In our conversations
Mr. C[redacted] would say that he is coming to do the work, but saying that he is
overwhelmed and he has not forgotten about doing the work and he will get to
it.  Now he is falsely alleging that we were making some type of
investment with his company for $20,000.00.  If that were true, where is
the paperwork?  Where is the agreement? What was the investment for and
what type of return were we to receive?  None of this is true.  Mr.
C[redacted] is making false statements to cover up the fact that he induced
us to give him money because we trusted him based on a quote that he presented
to us.
