    Status:
    Answered
    I hired Templar Contracting of 3152 Little Rd #345 Trinity Fl. 34655 to build a mother in law apt for me. I paid them $1,425. for architectural drawings on 2/22/21. I paid Templar Contracting $5,000.00 a deposit on 3/31/21 to begin the process and file for the permit with the City of Dunedin. I was overnighted a permit by Templar from the City to sign so he could get it filed. The permit was filed on 5/10/21. The city responded back to Templar with items that needed to be addressed on 5/11/21, 5/12/21,5/13/21. Templar never responded or complied with the city. Templar put on the permit that he was building a shed when I paid for plans for an apt. He quoted the price to the city of $20,000. He was charging me $47,000.00 He waited over 2 months to file for the permit. Once I found out He was trying to defraud me I cancelled my contract with Templar per registered letter and asked for my money back. I've been harassed via text by Templar. I just want my money back! NO permit was issued!

    There is a reason they don’t let people review them on Facebook. If you came here to see if you should work with them I wouldn’t. It’s been a very drama filled experience. Unless you love drama and stress I would look for someone else. It’s so intense that when I was getting upset no matter the reason Joey D asked me if I was off my mental health meds. If this isn’t enough to keep you away we’ll good luck. Run and run fast you won’t regret it. He understands that most people have no clue what is involved in building plans that’s why you hire them. Be carful when dealing with any any contractor really just make sure take your time.


    Templar Contracting Response

    04/10/2023

    This complaint, is the epitome of an entitled customer pouting because he didn't get his way.  ********************** is by far the most abusive, unreasonable, and belittling customer I have ever had.  I, and my team, have been berated by this man for almost a year now.  

    The reason ********************** cannot access our business or personal ********* is because he is blocked.

    The drama has been extremely one sided, as ************************** biggest complaints are that I follow the contract that we both signed......Yes, you read that correctly.  Besides the fact that he took  several months having me make changes to the contract before signing (A good indication that he reviewed the contract), we discussed thoroughly what was included and what was not.  He, as the homeowner, went to his own architect and engineer, designed the plans, approved them, and then gave them to me to price out (I had no involvement in that stage at the homeowner's request).  At this point, any contractor takes the plans, asks questions on finishes, and prices the job according the plans.  I did this, ********************** was satisfied with the pricing, and we signed the contract.

    When dealing with an existing or new septic tank, you cannot submit for a building permit until you get the septic inspected, get permitted and approved through the health department, and make any changes, if applicable.  All of this was completed in a timely manner, ********************** did not like that the health department (Not me) made him expand his drainfield, but that was the way it was.  At that point, we submitted to the building department and waited.  It took a long time (Again, nothing to do with Templar), corrections needed to be made multiple times (Again, HIS architect and engineer), which took very long periods of time.  While waiting on those corrections, nothing can be done.  After a few months, we received the permit, I informed ********************** that we could start in a week.  We scraped the lot, were ready to build footings, and he stopped me.  He said, I want to make this addition larger, what we made the plans for isn't big enough, and right now my You Tube money is coming in strong.  So, we had to literally start over.  His architect had to draw new plans (Which this time I was involved in helping), they took forever to complete again, but after the plans were done, we had to resubmit the plans and go through the same process.  During this time, he called me names, berated me, yelled at me, cursed at me, and refused to accept that I have nothing to do with the permitting timeframe.  I told him we had a good relationship with the building department, which we do, but it still takes time whether we like it or not.  There literally was no way to make this gentleman happy.  

    He informed me that he was bipolar, so there were times that I would have to deal with it.  No offense to him or anyone with bipolar disorder, but I did not anticipate the behavior I received.  I never asked him if he was off his meds, after hundreds of text messages and calls calling me names.....I asked him if there was a better way for me to handle his disorder, and if he had any advice (This is in email form for proof as well).  He has slandered me on ********* google, and now my BBB, and I am over it.  He makes changes and adds on to the work, and he believes we should pay for it.  That is not how it works.

    We work so hard to feed our families.  I have worked in this community my whole life, and in the industry for over two decades....I have never been treated like this and it is time customers take some accountability also.  I am literally building an addition with my team, while he refuses to let me on his property to inspect my own work.  I am making the best of a bad situation, but being harassed constantly is unacceptable. 

    This review is unfair, unfounded, and ********************** is not looking for any sort of peaceful resolution, he has told me that his goal is to ruin my business.

    Thank you.
