Stay away as far as possible!!!
Seriously avoid at all cost.
Awful workmanship. Redoing everything at least 4/5 time over and the it still looks terrible. Poor supervision. Owner Nico has a bully tactic approach when owners complain. Poor supervision and foreman will raise their voice at your wife when they are caught in one of their numerous lies. Owners start to works for him and not the other way around. Damage your property with empty promises that they will fix it afterwards and then not keeping to their word. Order wrong doors and install them and then refuse to replace them. Owner hardly pitch up for schedule meetings. Finances always in a mess with them. The also double charge you on certain VAT items. They also under quote on m2 on various items so that they can come in under other quotes and then during the project there are all these hidden costs inflating your original costs. The take short cuts and do not build your additions according to your approved plans and then do not take responsibility for that when a building inspector caught them red handed. Owner refused to meet with the building inspector after he said he will fix all the problems as per the inspectors report. Makkink never tried to fix the faults as highlighted in the inspectors report and decided to walk away and abandoning my wife and I. This after Nico put the phone down in the ear of the inspector during a telephone conversation. We as owners had to rebuild our 78m2 garage roof from scratch because it was unsafe, not build according to building regulations, and substandard material and products was used which was not up to code. They also did not build it according to the approved building plans. We had to redo the electrical as well because this was also not up to code in the garage. We also had to uninstall the caravaan size garage door and re-install it again due to the roof being redone at additional unforeseen costs. Needless to say our newly laid garage floor is already cracking up, like the walls that were build in our house, and will eventually need fixing at additional cost as well. Makkink does not reply to these issues and in the past when they reply they make weird and wonderful reasons why thing are happening and this without the owner even coming out to check what the problems are. In SA we are getting used to poor service providers, but these guys takes the cake. I have never experienced something like this ever in my life and it cost us financially and emotionally in the worst way possible.
