Hartland Construction - Robert L. Macdonald Bob MacDonald will steal your deposit Milford New Hampshire

This is an update regarding my complaint that Robert MacDonald of Hartland Construction failed to return my fully refundable $1,000 deposit, and somehow feels he is entitled to this money, I fully encourage anyone to fax me at 617-321-4024 with a return fax number, and I will gladly fax the signed agreement to you. It states that the $1,000 is fully refundable if I do not buy the land for any reason.

Based on Bob's rebuttal, he has no intentions of returning my $1,000 deposit, even though he was paid $5,000 for house drawings as per the agreement. This will be my final entry here, and I will now pursue small claims court for resolution.

Mr. MacDonald (Hartland Construction) did work for my house last fall. He was very clear about pricing and provided me with superior design plans that went beyond what I expected. I heard about Hartland Construction because of coverage in Architect Digest, I was looking for that level of expertise and professionalism.

I would highly recommend Hartland Construction to any home owner. Please feel free to contact me for further comments.

What he said is not true. I designed the entire house for him as per contract for $5,000.00. Got his approval to proceed, at which time he could have received his deposit check on the land for $1,000.00 back before I proceeded with the project. At that time he gave me the go ahead to proceed. At my expense I lined up financing for the project and had several meetings with these people. Gave them pricing on upgrades that they requested. Was waiting for them to put down the rest of the deposit on the project of $40,000.00 and kept getting the run around that he was waiting for some big deal to come through and could I get an extension to hold the land.

After putting a lot of time into the project he decided to back out. He was the smooth operator not me. I was only doing what he told me to do. It was him that told me to proceed. He also was giving me the run around about the fact that he had been approved for the loan of $800,000.00. We never received such a letter from his bank. He had his chance to back out, but told me to move ahead which I did. I don't work for free. The $1,000.00 does not even cover my time and expenses.
