The general contractor, Bruce Cosper, was never on site. He showed up a day or 2, or an hour or so in the morning, once in a while. He left the construction up to his son Asa and a helper. Bruce agreed to construct the foundation per mutually agreed upon consultation and plans. He did not do so. We had to insist on modification that should not have been necessary, either time or money wise. Asa did not understand the building system we were using, did not ask questions of us, an architect/owner who could and did provide drawings. Most egregiously, Asa did not refer to drawings provided to him, and constructed walls incorrectly. Asa and Bruce acknowledged this, then Bruce, his father, told us we would pay for him to make this mistake and we would also pay to correct them! The work was slow and sloppy. We told Asa repeatedly that the wall panels faced with cement board was our finished surface and please take care with them. Instead Asa handled them carelessly, causing extensive damage, and even stepped on a panel right in front of one of us, breaking off a large section. I have photos and video of this behavior. Bruce charged us multiple times over the budget/estimates he provided because of his poor work, slow work, inadequate, inexperienced, crew, unnecessary mistakes and for this he charges a 20% markup on all material and services! For what ???? To be over budget and months behind. I would never recommend this contractor. read more
