I had my house built through UBuildIt three years ago. When I began, I received a welcome letter from Bob Braudrick, the owner of UBuildIt. I paid the company $20,000 to provide lists of subcontractors and monitor their work.
I just learned from a remodeling contractor that the original framing subcontractor installed the siding incorrectly and that that caused a leak into at least one wall. I don't know what interior-wall damage my house has. My remodeling contractor patched all of the exposed nail holes in all of the siding and painted the entire house for $5,500 after the original framing subcontractor would not do the work for less.
I contacted Mr. Braudrick and every Oklahoma employee of UBuildIt and got no responses until a letter in the mail a couple of weeks later. UBuildIt wrote, "We have no record of you as having ever been a client of Braudrick Construction LLC dba UBuildIt-Oklahoma;" wrote that I, instead, had contracted with an "independently owned and operated" "franchisee" that went "broke"; and wrote that I "had the profit/equity to more than cover any" repair now.
I responded by asking why UBuildIt had no record of me as having been a client of Braudrick Construction when I received a welcome letter from Mr. Braudrick and how the company would know that I have profit/equity to cover any repair if it has no record of me as having been a client. I did not receive a response despite repeated attempts for one.
Additionally, during original construction, the lumber subcontractor sent some wrong lumber, and the framing subcontractor used 2x6s in the walls of the top story after using 2x4s in the walls of the bottom story, forever resulting in a heavier story on top of a story and resulting in too-narrow halls and a bathroom. Additionally, during original construction, a concrete retaining wall was installed with a permanent lean.
I want potential customers to know that this is how UBuildIt operates. read more
