Took 10 weeks to build my garage plus have had continuous problems with it since. Pretty much unusable! They have not dealt with any of the deficiencies or fixed any of the problems! Horrible company! Buyer beware!!!!!
Look for another contracting company; I ended up cancelling my garage contract with them and will be working with someone else.
The initial process of setting up the contract was promising. Their office staff sent everything quickly, and I was just as fast getting the documents and signatures back to them. I was looking forward to building with Planit. They had everything July 6th including the first payment from Financeit.
The contract had a completion date of August 15. They didn't START construction until around Aug 15, levelling the gravel pad and prepping it to pour concrete. Then nothing.
It took me sending a very angry email to both Sonny Belanger (said he co-owns the company when we met) and Steve Belanger (construction manager) the evening of Aug 30 before they finally decided to pour the concrete for the parking pad. Steve said it was going to be poured Saturday September 2nd. Wasn't poured until the 3rd, and probably only because further stern words were said. Steve then said they would start framing Thursday September 7th.
September 11th rolls around, still no frame. Ask Steve for an update, no reply. Ask again September 15th, still no reply. Ask again September 20th, and what do you expect, no reply.
Had enough of their poor business practices, so on September 21st I went to their office to cancel the contract. No one at reception, so I ring the bell. Steve ends up coming out of his office to assist. I told him I'm there to cancel the contract, he said to send him an email cancelling it. Waste of my time going up there.
I've read a few complaints about them taking their time cancelling the financing portion. If they go over their 15 day limit, which will be Oct 6th, I threatened to open a dispute with the BBB. We'll see what happens, and I will update the review.
Thank you for your comment Chris. We are working on reconciling your account to deduct the work that had been completed prior to discontinuing your project. Once this is complete, we will contact you for a refund of your financing.
We are sorry we weren t able to work with you and hope we to have this taken care of soon.
Contact Client Services at [email protected] if you require anything further in the interim.
Thank you.
Just built a 22x24 garage with Planit. Decided to go with them based on a referral from a neighbor and we didn't regret it. They poured the concrete within 5 days of signing and the framed it about 3 days later. We are now thinking of our basement with them....next year.
Thanks for the kind words Caroline!
A neighbour recommended Planit Builders. We are happy with our new garage. They are very professional. The site coordinator John Papageorgiou was always on top of things and keeping us informed through the construction. We recommend Planit Builders. Reliable, good quality and in time.
