Bella Vista Company

I am a vendor that was contracted to do a job on behalf of Bella Vista. My direct contact was with Jimmy Bullock. I was informed the job should be on fast track approval by next week, well it took 4. Then it was incredibly difficult to simply sign paperwork and get a check for half down so we could book the job, so I went to their office, met with Jimmy, signed paperwork and guess what.... no check. Despite making the appointment in advance, I had to come back an hour and a half later to pick the ck. We had the job done in 3 days, for which Mr. Bullock assured me we would have the final payment by the next Friday after the job was done. Guess what, no check. The following week I was told he would have the check by about 2pm that Friday. We arranged for my boss to pick up the check. Mr. Bullock asked for his name so his office would know. My boss called at 1:30 PM to confirm it would be ready by 2:30 for him to get. My boss shows up at 2:30, still no check and there would be no check, they are mailing them out and would not give it to him. UNBELIEVABLE. Well my boss is furious at this point. He had me follow up and find out what the heck is going on. I contacted Mr. Bullock who told me he was in a meeting and would be out in a SECOND! 50 minutes later, he still had not responded. 30 minutes later, no response. I called the Bella Vista Office and spoke to a PARTNER. I explained the situation and he explained their check process to vendors. I told him that's all fine, but if its always the following week and checks are always mailed, why was I allowed to come in to get the first check? But more importantly why did first, Mr. Bullock promise me the check last week? Then promise me and arrange for my boss to pick it up the next Friday, and why when my boss called the office an hour in advance was he told to come get the check, if it was NEVER GOING TO BE GIVEN TO HIM??? The partner, then said " I will ask Mr. Bullick what was going on in his head"!

Much too expensive for what they deliver. Good project managers, although the contractors and materials they use are average at best. Very little interest by the partners after the contract is signed. Overall, there are better companies out there. Summary: Bella Vista is a lot of show and talk, but the results were disappointing.
