Ben insisted we open a bank account with him to show proof of funds before the project began, this is how he was able to move money without my permission even though he showed us his contract and approval process and said he would need my authorization before moving any money out of the account.
I have given him many options to make this right, but he has continued to disregard our concerns, make light of the situation, and refuse to take responsibility for the mishandling of our project which has now fallen behind a year +.
He fabricated and inflated the numbers on the excavation to cover for the fact that he said he took the deposits (again without my permission) for septic and electrical materials in April 2021. He even upcharged us $1173 for electrical wire with the Change order over the summer 2021 because he said prices had gone up. When we asked him to produce these materials, after our conversation with the DEP where they confirmed that they had not spoken to him or requested he move the tank. DEP said the septic was approved in June and DEP had not been in contact with Ben since. I have screen shots of text messages where Ben stated he was going to begin digging for the septic, but DEP said they have to notify him atleast 2 days prior to work being done on the land. Even the work he did on the excavation was done incorrectly. He damaged areas we told him not to go into and he buried tree stumps even though we specifically asked him not to because that is DANGEROUS. He even destroyed a natural flowing stream we had on the property. We had to hire a new excavation company to fix all the things he messed up.
