2. Our Services

ZECO Construction provides building construction, renovations, property maintenance, plumbing, electrical, roofing, waterproofing, carpentry, kitchen and bathroom installations, painting and tiling, and paving services to residential, commercial, and industrial clients across Gauteng, South Africa. The specific scope of any project is defined in the written quotation or contract provided to you before work begins.

We reserve the right to decline or discontinue any service request at our discretion, including where a site is unsafe, a request falls outside our expertise, or payment terms are not met.

4. Payment Terms

• A deposit may be required before work commences, as specified in your quotation.
• Progress payments may apply for larger projects, invoiced at agreed milestones.
• Final payment is due on completion, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
• Late payments may incur interest and may pause further work until resolved.
• We accept EFT and other payment methods as confirmed at the time of quoting.

Specific payment schedules, deposit amounts, and milestones for your project are set out in your individual quotation or contract.

5. Changes, Variations & Cancellations

6. Warranties and Guarantees

We stand behind the quality of our workmanship. Warranty terms (including duration and coverage) are specific to the type of work performed and will be detailed in your project documentation. Warranties generally do not cover:

• Damage caused by misuse, neglect, or lack of maintenance
• Normal wear and tear
• Work or alterations carried out by third parties after project completion
• Pre-existing defects not identified as part of the original scope

Manufacturer warranties on materials and fixtures (e.g. geysers, tiles, fittings) are passed through to you as provided by the manufacturer or supplier.

7. Client Responsibilities

To help us deliver your project safely and on schedule, you agree to:

8. Limitation of Liability

While we carry appropriate insurance and take reasonable care in all work performed, ZECO Construction's liability for any claim arising from our services is limited to the value of the relevant project, except where liability cannot be excluded or limited under South African law (including gross negligence or willful misconduct).

We are not liable for delays or failures caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including extreme weather, load shedding, supplier delays, or municipal service interruptions.

9. Insurance

ZECO Construction maintains insurance cover appropriate to the work we perform. Details of specific coverage can be provided on request. We recommend clients maintain their own homeowner's or business insurance covering the property during renovation or construction work.
