Home builder refuses to comment on alleged shoddy work, misleading documents
Global News
Two families say they have been put in a difficult situation after purchasing a new home, with virtually no answers from the builder.
Two West Kelowna, B.C., families have come forward over the past couple weeks, with allegations including shoddy work and misleading documents after purchasing newly-built homes.
According to the families, the builder of both homes is AHA Custom Homes Ltd., or also known as Silverway Custom Homes Ltd.
Homeowner Jessie Angus’ occupancy documents list AHA Custom Homes Ltd., however her neighbours, Scott Watkins and Sarah Livsey have Silverway Custom Homes Ltd., listed on their documents.
Despite two different company names, both Angus and her neighbours say they dealt with the same person whom they identify as Ajay.
After several attempts to contact the builder, Ajay returned our calls only after Global News went by the listed address of the company in Surrey, which appears to be his home.
Over the phone, Ajay told us our questions should be directed to Silverway Custom Homes, Ltd., but when Global News asked if he owned both AHA and Silverway he hung up the phone.
Ajay refused to go on camera or be interviewed.
Last week, Watkins and Livsey told Global News they found 22 pages of deficiencies during their final walk-through of the house, including what appeared to be second-hand material and exposed pipes.
