Cuatro Construction, LLC – Javier Olivarez

I hired Javier Olivarez, Cuatro Construction, LLC to manage building a garage apartment in East Austin. We signed a contract for him to complete the project in 4 months. Javier rarely showed up to the project and had subcontractors doing terrible work. After 4 months I fired Javier because he had work completed out of sequence, failed to manage the project, put the building and personnel is life threatening danger by allowing live power lines to touch the structure for over a month. At 4 months the project was less than 40% complete and it was a mess. I fired him, and then all his contractors bailed on the project too, leaving me with failed city inspections and fees that I had to pay. I paid Javier in full for all work and materials. After 10 months, I found out that Javier had not paid the material supplier, ProBuild, for all materials. I received a letter from an attorney threatening to put a lien on my property because Javier had not paid for all materials. In the attorney’s letter, Javier failed to pay on 3 separate projects, mine being one of them. Javier walked away with about $ 14,000 of additional money from me with a project that was left in shambles; I was overcharged for work done, for work not completed and for multiple fees and failed city inspections. Javier used Proto Electric which failed city inspections 4 times on one inspection, and then later abandoned the project and left me with city failed inspection fees.
I highly recommend AGAINST using Javier Olivarez, Cuatro Construction, LLC (also uses the company name Dittmar Homes).
