Business ProfileforAmerican Construction Group LLC

We met with the Pres/owner of American Construction Group (ACG) multiple times during 2021-2022. A contract to build a pool, architectural concrete around the pool, steps and walk to the pool and retaining wall was signed in May 2022. In May 2022 the owner promised construction would start in 2022. The majority of work would be completed in 2022 and the remaining work would be completed in the Spring 2023. He promised a May 2023 “swim date.” A reasonable amount or work was completed, mostly during Fall 2022. Due to the “front load” nature of the contract payment schedule we had what appeared to be 50% of work completed, excavation, plumbing, equipment pad, and concrete pool structure, but paid over 75% of the total contract amount. And crews did not arrive in 2023 until August. The only work completed in 2023 to date has been construction debris cleanup and more final grading. In October we were told the company had no funding to pay for block to build the retaining wall even though we had already paid for 50% or the wall contract price. I agreed to pay the supplier direct for Allen Block. ACG delivered the block and completed the wall over a 3 week period in October. On October 25 I was told work would continue in 10 days to 2 weeks. On November 14, ACG office staff explained the crews were busy this week and will probably be busy next week doing “priority work.” Office staff admitted today that new pool contracts are considered by ACG to be priority work. At this time, we have no plan or commitment from ACG to continue or complete work on the pool. We have not seen or spoken to the pres/owner since October 2022. He is not available by phone and refuses to meet. Office staff rarely answers the phone or returns calls.
