Four (4) months after starting the project that was scheduled by contract to be completed in Six (6) months, BLP Construction had collected over $100,000 in payments and materials after two HUD Construction Inspections but without any Anne Arundel County Inspections.
Ben Porter portrayed BLP Construction as a one-stop shop, able to provide design, architecture, engineering, and all the construction trades needed to complete a remodeling project on my home. On October 13, 2013 I requested his professional opinion for remodeling my home at 2723 Cedar Drive, Riva MD 21140. No Architectural or Engineered drawings were ever
provided.
On November 9, 2013 BLP Construction provided me with a ?Project Contract? in the form of a Microsoft Excel worksheet to provide the renovations. On 11/13/13 BLP Construction signed a ?Homeowner Contract Agreement FHA 203K Rehabilitation
Contract? with a 6 month period of performance to complete the project. Neither of these contracts were in compliance with the Maryland Home Improvement Commissions contract requirements.
Due to missing exterior plywood and Tyvek my home suffered extensive water damage in August 2014 which greatly increased the scope of the project. I had the HUD Inspector who had validated the building expenses, plan, and who was monitoring the construction come out and inspect the damage. He required BLP Construction to cut-out numerous sections of the drywall on the first floor, remove the wet insulation, and place fans to dry out the walls. This attempt to correct the situation was unsuccessful and a mold-like substance began to appear in various places. I was required to hire a contractor to remove and replace all of the wet drywall and insulation thought the first floor of the home.
Four (4) months into a six (6) month project, BLP Construction had received $72,150 (less a 10% hold-back) from construction draws on the 203k loan. In addition to the HUD contract funding, I had supplied over $30,000 in funds and material to facilitate the construction.
I was very concerned over the funding expended and tremendous amount of work required to complete the project, so I secured the advice of a professional construction consultant. Upon evaluation by a local construction consultant on September 1, 2014, the work performed by BLP Construction was found to be ?grossly negligent and
substandard?. He recommended that I immediately ?Stop Work? to prevent any further construction requiring repairs or replacement. Up to this point there had been no County inspections to validate the workmanship or adherence to Anne
Arundel County building codes. Upon evaluation by the Anne Arundel County inspection department and an independent local Structural Engineer, the work was verified to be substandard and in violation of Anne Arundel
building codes requiring a substantial amount repair or replacement.
On September 1, 2014, I notified BLP construction to stop work on my house. In compliance with the homeowner contract agreement article 15, I provided BLP Construction a list of items indicated as ?defective workmanship? and requested an estimate within a reasonable amount of time as per the contract. After 10 working days without a response from BLP Construction the contract with Benjamin Porter to renovate the home was officially terminated.
I requested an inspection from the Anne Arundel County Inspection department to evaluate the work which had been done by BLP construction. Upon inspection on 9/25/14 a substantial list of substandard workmanship and code violations was generated by a local Anne Arundel county inspector.
Subsequently I hired a local professional engineer to evaluate the framing work which had been completed by BLP Construction and the engineer validated that the work was performed in a substandard workmanship like manner and did "not" meet the required county code standards. The cost for labor and materials to correct the framing discrepancies and Anne Arundel Code violation has exceeded $70,000.

**Note: There's another gentlemen who (lives on the Eastern shore) recently experienced the wrath of BLP Construction as well.
(NOTE: Builder did come back on 8/17 but has Not called for a re-inspection so we can get final so my dad can move in and it is now Oct 11/2011) I have text the builder..over and over again. I refuse to talk to him...as there is no reason to talk to him..he just needs to call inspector.
( NOTE:builder did refund the money that bob was out for the Electric wire...not the trencher)...This has been a nightmare building project...and since I was already living a nightmare with my ill mother I did NOT need this added stress. I do NOT recommend this builder.
(NOTE: the builder did build a wall about 4ft from long wall in basement because of bounce in floor...it didn't stop it..but it does help a little.)
UPDATE: Builder did not EVER get us new boards (that they cut) for our YEAR Old deck.. I still do NOT recommend him at all. BLP Construction. WE just had to rent a bob cat to fix grading...My husband had to do so much to make this right and he is not finished yet.(
(NOTE I have pictures to back up all I say....this site Angies list would not let me change the pictures I put up..I didn't know we were limited on how many we could put up...and I just started at the beginning and was going to put them all up but can't)
