Clients say builder films too many TikToks to get any work done | A Current Affair

Well Bart calls himself a builder but really he's just a big talker.His clients say he spends more time shirtless on TikTok at their properties than doing the work.

Incredibly, incredibly frustrating and wearing his worsted.Absolutely exhausted.We wish we never found Bart.We just wish the Simpsons just kept him really.

Work doesn't stop, the music is on.

Bart can sing, dance and put on an impressive performance at his client's job sites.Just not the one they pay him for.

Great with a camera, but just not great at being here on site, which is what his job is.There's just a level of arrogance, I think.

His real name is Chachai Rimnongruwa and he runs Chachai Constructions.It's his TikTok videos that reel in young first home buyers with a fixer -upper like Zach and Kelly.

Comes across really genuine, a good dude.

Got a lot of charisma, very swag about himself.But he's all talk, no action.The Brisbane couple with the newborn hired him several months ago for a new retaining wall.And this is how he's left their home.

So he's completely destroyed us and he's just been missing in action for the last two months.While their home still features on his social media.I think he just went in there and just went, I've got the money, I'm just going to do a half -arsed effort and get out of there.We're nearly $16 ,000 out of pocket and he's not only just taken $16 ,000 from us.We can't even continue where he finished.He completely went against the engineering plans.

Everything is wrong.Some of that money inherited from Kelly's father.I hope Bart can sleep at night knowing the fact that he has taken that money that my dead dad gave me.

Now Kelly has to return from maternity leave.early.

We saved for three years to have time with our baby so that we could be there and give her the best chance at the starting of a life and he has completely taken that because we now have to pay someone else to do the job.Since January this year he's completely abandoned the job.Left our house on acro -props.The retaining wall is exposed, it's failing and we're completely exposed to the elements.These holes in your yard are massive.They're huge.

Emily and Peter are another young couple left with an unsafe home.They paid BART for a new deck but now their dog can't even go outside unsupervised.

So we'd initially reached out to BART July last year.To date we've paid them just over $21 ,000.

I'm gonna remove and extend Despite what he told his social media followers, that never happened.So you can imagine their anger when they saw Bart on holiday in Bali just days after they paid him.Even forking out for fresh tattoos.

To make matters worse, Bart isn't even a licensed builder, so he's not allowed to take on jobs over $3 ,300.

We got him on the phone and he admitted to doing the wrong thing.

And we don't buy your excuses but since we got involved Kelly and Zach say a small amount of their money has been returned.
