Now, those who relied on the company, Highbridge Construction, are left wondering if they'll ever see that money again."I knew immediately that we were in trouble," Bunda said.
After months of frustration, Bunda's rebuild remains a hole and she's now out hundreds of thousands of dollars. She says Highbridge told her the money was insured, but she found out Monday it is not. Employees have also been left in the lurch. Wages are outstanding and there has been very little information from the company, just a locked door in Orléans.
CTV News Ottawa is aware of a Glebe homeowner who is out tens of thousands of dollars after their home was left unfinished.
I was an employee of theirs for just over 2 years. Leam Hamilton changed his social media accounts after we got the email saying the company was 'forced to close its door and cease business operations.' around 8 pm last Friday night.
It bears mentioning that this is a company promoted by Mike Holmes. I want to hear how he is going to make it right.
I wonder who allowed that to happen 🤔
There will be more of this…with higher interest rates putting a chill on the housing market, less ppl qualifying for a mortgage, and home prices falling. Next comes the mortgages defaulting!
Oakwood should be next. Terrible company.
I feel for the clients
Trudeau and ndp spending driving your mortgages through the roof!:
Too bad the story doesn’t talk about all the money the guy(s) stole from the company …
they always advertised curious what led to the demise
mattskubeCTV This is devastating
I know a(now past)employee of this company. Employees received an email Friday at midnight saying they’re closing their doors. The second co-owner is Patrick Violette. Both owners disconnected their phones on Saturday. So much more has happened than what’s in the article. So sad
What about dairy barns 👀
We're going to see a lot more of this, unfortunately justinflation 🤷🏻♂️
