Joubert Development

Tyler Boon and his wife contacted Joubert in early 2020 to look at a small renovation to a house they were purchasing in Evergreen. My wife and one of our superintendents met the Boons at the house to review and discuss the scope of work. The scope of work, at that time, was to update the kitchen and an upstairs laundry room. We developed a budget and proposal, and presented that to the client. Which they approved. A permit was applied for and issued through Jefferson County on April 28, 2020 for the original scope of work. This was the beginning of the Covid shutdown and the building official at Jefferson County informed me that they were unsure what was going to happen with construction during the pandemic or if the County would even be able to perform inspections. The clients again wanted to keep going. The building official also advised me to make sure we used licensed subcontractors and we would work something out as information became available. Of course, we only use licensed subcontractors anyway. The link to this permit is included at the end of this document. The project began and was tracking very well. So well in fact , that the clients continued to add more and more tasks to the scope of work. This nearly doubled the budget and extended the timeline for completion. We added a large sliding door to the family room area that required our structural engineer to design a header beam. Each draw that was submitted to the clients contained anywhere between 10 and 40 pieces of backup documentation. This documentation included receipts that we were requesting reimbursement for, invoices, and disbursement checks. Boon had 3 days per the contract to inspect all of this documentation and notify us with any questions. He never had any questions about the draws and paid each draw is a very timely manner. It wasn't until we were in a dispute that Boon started to look at this documentation and discover an error on one Home Depot receipt that our superintendent submitted. A DeWalt small tool was included on one of the draw receipts that should not have been included. The amount was less than $100. We immediately acknowledged the error and credited the client. As the scope of work grew, it became necessary that trade permits would now need to be obtained. The scope of work for the main permit would also need to be amended to include the additional work requested by the clients. A few of the subcontractors were slow to obtain these permits but in the end, all of the permits were obtained and the inspections completed. The accusation that no permits were pulled is simply untrue. In the fall of 2020, Mr. Boon's personality changed 180 degrees. He went from pleasant and respectful to combative and confrontational. Almost overnight. This link is to a voice mail left on our superintendent's personal cell phone after he claimed that his bottled water was missing. This is one of probably eight voice mails or emails like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kOXD6oyvNM Shortly after this time period, we had to stop work on the project due to lack of payment. Mr. Boon continues to spin emotionally and spent his time compiling accusations about our employees and company. He filed a complaint with the Jefferson County's District Attorney's office stating that i stole $600,000 from him. A detective from the District Attorney's office called me and the complaint was dismissed in a matter of minutes. Our employees and subcontractors had to block his phone number and emails due to his abusive communications. We turned this matter over you our attorney and it took another two months to come to a settlement agreement that both parties signed. On 1/15/21, Mr. Boon brought his account current by making two payments. One for $81,773.82 and another for $24,980.71. This was per the term of the settlement agreement. Our team was very reluctant to return to the Boon house but finally agreed to since we were so close to finishing the project. However, at the last minute, Mr. Boon did not want us to return and stated that he was going to finish the project himself. We then started to turn over all of the documentation to him that he would need to complete the project. And we terminated our relationship. Mr. Boon continues to this day to violate the settlement agreement that he signed by posting false and defamatory information on websites. See attorney letters attached. He also continues to harass me, my family, and our employees. One month into the Boons' project, my business partner (wife) was diagnosed with stage three stomach cancer. She endured multiple rounds of chemotherapy and underwent major surgery about half way through the construction. In one of his fits of rage, Mr. Boon stated that my wife's illness was impacting his family's ability to move into their $2 million home. He sent this email while my wife was still in the ICU hooked up to an IV and feeding tube. And he wanted something done immediately. He has driven by our other jobsites and have yelled "f___you" to our guys. He texted me last month and said "Hey Chuck! Your shithead wife dead from her fake cancer yet?" I've attached a link to a folder containing information about the text to his attorneys. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zjxi58thlh7ngr9/AADemIuKob6y0I8zClphTry7a?dl=0 I've contacted Build Zoom several times about this false post and they have refused to remove it. My attorney has also sent Build Zoom a letter about this post violating the settlement agreement between the parties but they have refused to remove it.
