I am the poster of an original thread to Nappyvalley and another which can still be found on Mumsnet; but only if you look hard enough. In January 2016, and at Buildteam's direct request, I removed my post to Nappyvalley. After enduring too many awful months, of what should have been a simple side return project, we were desperately worried about what we had found ourselves involved with. I still clung to a final fading hope that this company could deliver as advertised and it was in this spirit that I deleted the Nappy Valley review. I retained the thread on Mumsnet, partially at the request of the followers of the discussion but also in order to allow opportunity for an end of narrative comment which would ultimately provide any appropriate redemption. Something which I thought was only fair in the circumstances. As a family we had sincerely hoped for a happy resolution to our building project. Who wouldn't? We had invested a substantial amount of money in achieving a life long dream for our family life, however, this was not to be and after 9 stressful months of ongoing and unresolved dispute, the torrid details of which are available on request, the loss of trust was absolute and our contract was terminated. Our final experience, and of course this is just my opinion here, is that we were left in a condition so far removed from the Code of Practice of the FMB, with whom one version of this company hold affiliation, that it was shocking.
The details of this are now secondary to other facts which I wish to share as I believe them to be in the public interest. Since I posted an honest review on mumsnet all contributors to this thread, including myself, have been accused of potential libel. More bizarrely, my original post (which was written and posted in December describing some of the reasons why we were so upset in the first place), has now been removed and mysteriously today I find myself at the centre of a copyright infringement claim. It seems a person in America somehow wrote my own review before I did and has used the convenient vehicle of the paid services of the DMCA to have it removed. You can now see my original post, today attributed to an affronted "Mr Douglas Bush", on a website based in India and pre-dating mine at September 2015. As a result of this allegation against me the entire discussion thread has been removed from the Google search engine where up until that moment it was featuring fifth on a search of the company's name. I cannot explain any of this, so I invite any readers of this particular forum to go seek out the mumsnet thread for themselves. I welcome their comments. If nothing else this experience illustrates a vulnerability in the online legal system where we can all be exploited. In short, and returning to the original topic, I don't recommend this company, because ever since we had anything to do with them we have had a horrible time.
