Vanweenenbouwbedrijf.nl Reputation Review

Our experience with Van Weenen Bouwbedrijf unfortunately ended in a very stressful process. What should have been a beautiful extension with a new front door has left us with major structural problems and high unforeseen costs. The biggest issue is the foundation of the extension. Within a few months after completion, significant cracks appeared in both the plaster and the exterior walls. Because we were extremely worried, we had an independent inspection conducted. This report revealed that the extension is severely sinking because the foundation does not have sufficient load-bearing capacity for the structure. We are now faced with an unsafe situation, and the structural repair by an external expert is going to cost us a lot of money. Additionally, there are major problems with the installation of the new front door. The frame is so misaligned that the door jams severely. We have locked ourselves out several times and must push hard every day just to get inside. Because everything is out of alignment, the seals do not fit, allowing rain to come in from the bottom. The expensive security lock has also ceased functioning because the entire structure is constantly under stress. What makes this situation even more painful is the communication from the company. Phone calls are brushed off and registered letters go unanswered. When we finally managed to get hold of a project manager, the problem was simply dismissed as the 'natural behavior of the ground' and we received no further help. I strongly advise everyone to do thorough research and choose a party that takes responsibility when mistakes are made.
