A homeowner, whose two-story house addition was left incomplete, is considering a class-action lawsuit after losing a large sum of money to Highbridge Construction.
The east Ottawa company's abrupt closure last week left customers, workers and contractors in the lurch and in some cases, owed hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The two-story addition to the back of Thomas’s Glebe home would include a first floor powder room and living space, while the second floor would be used as a master bedroom and ensuite. “They framed the second story one foot too low, they had to completely tear it off and rebuild the thing because they didn’t bother checking to ensure that it was level with the floor they needed to connect to in the house," Thomas said, adding some irreplaceable, century-old bricks were smashed off the side of his house as well.
"I came to pick up my personal things,” says former employee Sharri Fermoyle. "We we’re devastated last Friday the group of us … hopefully you get another job and you move on and you recreate yourself somewhere new."
