Terms of Service

1. Description of Services

The Construction Syndicate vets and approves independent contractors for construction, renovation and repair services in the Overberg. We facilitate contractor introductions and coordinate a single initial site visit with the relevant contractors. The contractors assess the work and issue their own individual quotations, which you may accept or decline independently.

2. Relationship with Contractors

Important: The Construction Syndicate is an intermediary service. We do not perform the construction or repair work ourselves.

The contractors in our network are independent professionals and are not employees or agents of The Construction Syndicate. While we rigorously vet our network, any contracts, quotes, or agreements for physical labor, materials, or timelines are strictly between you (the client) and the individual contractor.

Construction Syndicate facilitates contractor introductions and the initial site visit. Quotations are issued by the individual contractors. Any work you accept is arranged directly between you and the relevant contractor.

3. User Responsibilities

By using our service to request a quote or site visit, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete contact and property information.
• Ensure that you, or an authorized representative, are present at the property during the scheduled initial site visit.
• Communicate promptly if you need to cancel or reschedule the initial site visit.
• Provide a safe environment for our contractors when they visit your premises.

4. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by South African law, The Construction Syndicate, its directors, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from:

• The performance, non-performance, or quality of work provided by any independent contractor sourced through our platform.
• Any property damage or personal injury occurring during a site visit or construction project.
• Disputes regarding quotes, payments, or project timelines between you and the contractor.

Your sole remedy regarding dissatisfaction with a contractor's work is to address the issue directly with the contractor according to your agreement with them.

5. Fees and Quotations

Construction Syndicate connects you with vetted independent contractors at no cost to you. There are no contact, call-out or quotation fees. Our team coordinates the initial site visit.

The independent contractors provide individual quotations based on the work required. You can accept one quotation and decline another, with no obligation to accept any or all of them. Any work you choose to proceed with is priced according to the relevant contractor’s quotation you accept.

Quotations are generated directly by the independent contractors. The Construction Syndicate does not guarantee the accuracy of these quotes or price-match competitors. Quotes are subject to change based on the contractor's final assessment and material availability.
