Re: Think twice before using Wisdom Homes 19Nov 29, 2022 9:47 am AnnaP what am referring to "Experts in building" compared to us an accountant would not know how building construction works so i leave it to them that is why we paid them to do the job. this is a generally dangerous and misguided approach. You should use the opportunity to learn as much as possible about the process rather than putting your trust in them. After all there are plenty of experts that are untrustworthy. Just take a look at the recent number of collapsed and bankrupt multi billion dollar crypto exchanges and businesses. They were all experts too. Not to mention the multitude of "experts in building that have collapse din the last couple of years also. As an accountant you should be familiar with the term "trust, but verify". Builders are notorious for over promising, underdelivering, misleading, cutting corners etc. My observations are that all the people who have overly positive experiences are those that know zero about what is going on.

In staying so, its not about being distrustful, angry and demanding, but you need to have some level of understanding and assertiveness to make sure that youre getting what you paid for, which in many cases if you just "leave it to the experts" will be less than what you are obliged to receive.

I don't know how to collaborate with them now as they don't respond to to phone calls or messages so this is where I'm at. I just need this house completed with no more delays so my family can be more comfortable with their medical conditions. It's the reason I'm building. Can someone please offer some advice? Im DESPERATE. Because I'm completely and utterly exhausted. How long are variations taking with other companies at the moment?
