Very disappointed and frustrating. Extremely bad service and communication

The service I have recieved this far has been pathetic. So we recieved no communication. We get no updates. I placed a review about service and communication on Friday and then recieved calls to inform me I must be understanding and they are trying. So at that stage we had half a whole. Keep in mind we were told 6 days from start to finish. So they started on the whole for 2 days. Then on the THird day no response or communication from office and no work done. Then we were told they coming on the third day 18:00 with the shell so the whole needs to be done. It was not done. On day 4 which is today is they were still digging the whole. Ps no shell came on day 3 we got a call at 17:00 to say the shell will be delivered at 14:00 the following day. So day 4 and theyl are still digging. So the shell is in front of my house then the guy comes and says but he can’t put the pool in cos the whole is not ready. Apparently he need cement and a lot of things before he can put the shell in the whole. Now we as the client needs to make a plan to put the shell somewhere and find a place to put an 8 x 3 meter pool. So they ended up leaving it on my roof cos there was no where to put it. On this day 4 we have been trying to phone all the numbers we have and no answer. We made 50 to 100 calls and no one answers any of the number, they don’t answer WhatsApp and they don’t answer anything. So after also being asked to take my first review about no communication down, which I did because they promised the are trying. But now they not answering and we can’t get hold of anyone and we have a shell on top of my roof.

Still trying to get hold of someone cos we have a shell standing on the garage roof and if anything happens who is going to replace the shell. No communication and ignore our phone calls and even kill our calls when we try to phone

Dear Fauqiyah, Thank you, we understand that due to ordering your pool on risk as a favour and funds coming last minute. Sorry that the understanding is your builders closed the hole with sand again and had delays. Happy it is sunken for now. We also received your husbands review, Thank you.

Thank you for your review, at the moment and past week or 2 we have been dealing with challenges and very sick people. We have been asked to try and deal with what we can as helpers and staff, but limited resources until we can have people back on their feet. We shall try our best. Stay safe!

First of all the builders did. It fill the whole again. The builders moved the sand your subcontractors decided to throw in our structure that was recently built. The builders were very considerate to your guys and worked their schedule around the sub contractors but your subcontractor only pitched up to the site at 4 or later. So the delays ended up being nu pools only getting to our site after 4 if they made it for the day. Secondly yes the original 60% was late but as soon as we recieved the funds the full 90% was paid. All your response does is give excuses. It does not address the issue of my complaint which is NO Communication and NO project management and the fact that 90% of the project we had to arrange ourselves.

The below is everything that we had to arrange ourselves;
The coping for the pool as it was not even ordered by nupools
The solar panels we had to arrange and pay for ourselves
The electrician we had to arrange and pay for ourselves
Rubble removal was part of the co tract yet we had to arrange and pay for it and my husband even had to go and remove rubble himself. Also because the rubble was not removed the pool pump is now extremely higher than the pool level as your subcontractor put the pool pump up and could not see the level of the pool as the rubble was not removed
We were promised a clean pool and a handover and have still no one from Nu pools has been here.
A pool cover which was part of our contract and yet no pool cover has been ordered or delivered yet.

We try to contact you as now we are R12 000 out of pocket and get no response from nu pools

We recieved one part payment of R2000 and then nothing again and when we try to contact nu pools there is a message that states u are closed till 11 jan

I understand that with the current situation there can be issues with health but as a company there should be contingency’s in place as now we as the client are R12000 out of pocket and you are asking me to accept your excuse but what am I supposed to say to the contractors we have to pay.

Please understand that from our point we did not get the service that u supp**** in your contract
