"This is truly the ultimate - of what I feel is a criminal Home Builder".

This is in fact about Americas Home Place. 




When you talk about Builder Fraud, poor construction, poor 
craftsmanship, bullish attitudes, complete deception, and
what I feel is - nothing less than out right criminal... Well, 
that is my experience with this builder.

On June of 2004, I entered into a contract with this builder.

The specific office I contracted through is located in Augusta 
Georgia.

They do have offices throughout the SouthEast. 
Some other locals are - Gainsville,Ga., Columbia,SC., Greenville,SC.
And they recently set up office in Mississippi, don't you know...

2 months after closing on the preliminary construction loan to have 
the home built on my property, I received a letter from the bank 
(The Banks Corporate Office - which is also located in Gainsville Ga. 
where this builders Corporate office is.) This letter advised that 
upon an audit of my file, "a signed loan application was not found". 
And that I needed to sign and return the loan application to them.

Mistake one...without carefully reading and comparing this 
document with other records; I signed and faxed this document, 
which was sent to me, prefilled - by the bank. 

A few months later, my wife was going over the records and 
discovered some discrepancies within the document; which included, 
an inflated salary (doubled), and an extreme exaggeration regarding 
how long I had been an Officer for the state of Georgia.
 

According to this "document", ("the loan application" the bank sent 
prefilled with their letter), the information was given to the bank 
over the phone. I never spoke to the bank, until I called to stop the 
builder from being able to make draws on the account. The builder, 
handled the loan setup. 

I had good credit. And imagine this...
 I was in uniform.
 
Clearly - a State Officer of the Law, and these people had the 
nerve to take liberties with my personal information and fabricate 
information against my financial instruments, "While I was under the color of law". 

They outright lied to the bank, to assure that the loan was approved, 
"for their own personal gain". 

If that's not enough; every phase of the job has had to be torn out,
and re-done, due to poor substandard craftsmanship. But not immediately. 
They always spend a couple of months trying to push me into excepting the
poor work, or demanding that they are going to proceed against my will,
thus forcing me to mention that - "that" would be considered as criminal 
trespassing, and I'd call local law enforcement. 

If something has not been done under my direct supervision, or by me 
personally, it has been very wrong, or seriously substandard.

Before I graduated from the Police Academy (with Honors), I had the
privilege of living many experiences in life. 

I am also a skilled tradesman, and have enjoyed being licensed with the 
state of S.C. as a contractor. There is no part of building a house that 
I am not experienced in.

My knowing how to build a house, and knowing the specifics of "quality",
and craftsmanship, and the limitations thereof, was a problem for this 
'builder'. They repeatedly tried to bully me into excepting poor & / or 
weathered products and poor, substandard and just plain awful looking 
craftsmanship.

Only days after a joint meeting with the South Carolina Builders Commission, 
this builder contacted the mortgage company and told them to process 
the final loan, claiming my home was 70% completed. Folks... I only had
a concrete slab. And to date, I still only have a concrete slab.
With the Courts permission, I will include that audio tape in a package
that I will mail to you free.
 

My experience with them, and their sub-contractors, is all on tape.

You don't have to believe me, the evidense speaks for itself.

All you have to do is just look at the videos, and you can see exactly how this builder
truly is.

Their deception never ends.  

We went through arbitration June 21, 2005. And the builder was still being deceptive.
And frankly, CAS (Construction Arbitration Services [the arbitration service listed
on the builders contracts]) and the appointed arbitrator, were clearly in favor of (The Builder). 
After all, it is "Construction Arbitration Services". 
Take that with a grain of salt. 

CAS and the Arbitraror knows which side their bread is buttered on. 

To be clear about it; CAS and the Arbitraror, blatantly violated my rights to have evidence 
and my rights to have witnesses (ie:current and former employees) at the arbitration hearing, 
to testify in my favor. 

Because Courts favor arbitration [as it is written in law], the arbitrators award to 
this, again, what I feel is a criminal builder, was granted judgement. 

The Court of Common Pleas ignored my pleas to bring forth evidence that CAS, and the 
Arbitrator refused to subpoena. 

Signing the contract and agreeing to binding arbitration, as I did; if you have or do, you 
are just S.²O.L. Unless we stand togeather in some type of class action Law Suit.

To be clear… if you see the word "Arbitration", "Binding Arbitration", or 
"Binding Mandatory Arbitration" in the builders contract, don't walk away; run. 

It always helps to have a video camera recording! 
So record everything - people.

Any conversations you have with the builder needs to be recorded, as they do not like paperwork; 
try to get it in writing anyway. And FYI. If you're already under contract with them,
you will unlikely get any paperwork from them now. Regardless of what you need it for. They like 
to commit their violations, but for obvious reasons, will not give you requested, demanded, or 
subpoenaed documents. It's just not going to happen.
