Darmani sells grain bins to farmers in the prairies and has setup crews erecting these bins on location on the farmers yard. As a contractor we have had good communication and relation with most of the farmer except (Sterling). Darmani has not communicated to us or the farmer on a regular bases. One of Sukup's bins, sold by darmani dropped to the ground of a bin crane nearly killing a couple of the crew (very near miss). Called darmani and demanded that all setup be halted to prevent a fatality. Darmani did not believe that it was anything serious and that it was caused by a gust of wing which they seem to know from hundreds of miles away.
There was no wind that day. After the fact darmani agree to pay for downtime, travel, parts and the shipping of parts and extra labour. The whole project was 6 -3008 bins but only had problems with the last one. Anyway we revived the bin that dropprd to the farmers satisfation and expected Darmani to pay up for thier promises. The parts were a month late with the main brackets missing. After the bins were released by us so the farmer could use them and the leasing company could pay Darmani, we expected to get this issue resolved and get paid for our labour for all 6 bins. Darmani has not paid for any bins or any of the other promises. We could not pay our employees due to this project and still waiting for payment plus interest from Darmani.
