Create a Space is a con!
We have had the same experience in the last 6 months as other reviews here. When we initially hired Ray I tried looking for reviews for Create a Space but I couldn't find them so I am trying to title this review to have it pop up on Google.
We hired Raymond Stanley to build a deck, he quoted much lower than others then when questioned spun us some line about how other tradies were just charging too much. He seemed like a very nice guy so we hired him as he said he would have the job done in a week.
He was then sick for a couple of weeks the da...Read more

Thanks for the rewiews guys.
Was just about to pay a deposit when I stumbled upon these reviews.
Something didn't sit well with me as there were a few red flags.
His business was registered last year, there were no reviews on service seeking.
He gave me pricing on concreting, decking and rendering etc without even measuring up. He went off the sizes I told him.
The biggest one was that he showed up to the quote in a Bunnings rental ute.

Ray from Create A Space Home Services
[name removed] is a con man. Do not hire him. Looks like he’s changed his business name from Perfect Fencing to the above.
I hired [name removed] to build a pergola and concrete my backyard. He asked for 50% deposit for the job which he quoted for $4010. He said he can do it in a week.
The first time he couldn’t come was because he’s in hospital with a heart flutter. The second excuse was his truck broke down and it went on and on. He finally came one day and put in 4 posts and dug up the grass in my small backyard which was to be concreted. H...Read more

Do not hire!!
Employed Ray for landscaping and fencing. Got strung along for months with excuse after excuse. In the end, job was never done and he owed us money. Couldnt get this back.
Do not use him- no conscience for taking other peoples hard earned money.

Shocking
Reading these reviews is like Deja vu. Our experience was a couple of years ago and this guy absolutely ripped us off thousands and thousands of dollars. He talks the talk so beware. He uses excuses that he is in hospital nearly dying, that he just has to go to Bunnings and never returns etc etc etc!! We felt sorry for this guy but he absolutely mock us and caused us immense stress. Stay clear of him, he is the biggest Con Man!!

Perry bird pickets
Negotiated a trailer load of pre primed pickets to be used for a job just over the border in New South Wales. Paid cash.
On arrival a bunch of them hiden in the middle of the stack were utterly unfit for purpose.
Nasty!

Terrible
Took 50% deposit, promised to finish in 2-3weeks.
8 months later did about 30% of job, poorly, have to get proper tradies to come in to fix his work/mistakes/damage to our property.
Didn't show up to work on numerous occasions with the following excuses; dying mother, gusto, sick brother, family issues, family event, a cold, stomach pains, heart issues, etc, etc, etc.
Compulsive liar - He is not a real fencer or landscaper and has no idea what he is talking about.
He has caused a lot of stress and drama and has abused & threatened us, also c...Read more
alled us liars. Took him to VCAT & won ($8K+). Now in the process of taking it further as he said he has no assets and he'll just liquidate - don't care what he has and hasn't got, we just don't want anyone else to go through this.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Perfect fencing Ray Stanley is a scammer
This guy is a compulsive liar, took over 4 months to do a job that he said would be done in 3 weeks. The work that has been completed is absolutely horrific and we now have to redo our gate, part of the pailing fence as the quality of his work was just pitiful, he also took money for work that was not completed from our dear neighbor who is 85 years old. He is NOT to be trusted and seems to be doing this to others now I see these posts.

SCAMMER!
[name removed], director of Perfect Fencing PTY LTD replied to online request for a quote from
ServiceSeeking.com.au back in July 2018..
This man came to my house, quoted me for the job, and requested I pay 50% (3.5k) deposit upfront.
I did so,
He proceeded to give excuse after excuse, week after week, month after month.. until I finally requested he repay my deposit.. which only began another series of excuses..
I had enough so I sought legal action, blindly believing the legal system would not let him get away with this.. so I sought l...Read more

perfect fencing..NOT
Strung me along for months! Quick to take a 50% deposit on a $1600 job, promising a lead time of 7-10 days. (I wouldn't hired otherwise)
This was in late June! Then this ridiculous, idiotic nonsense went on until October, when I asked for the deposit back. He'd already caused enough delays by then.
Gave me back $300 and called me a liar.
Avoid at all cost!
February 3rd 2022 Update: Perfect fencing what a contradiction in terms
Get real people!
These companies that link us up with these supposed legit contractors should be held accountable !!!
They're the ones that let these lying crooks get through to rip off legitimate people. ...Read more

Terrible service! I've be scammed
Perfect fencing contacted me via an online ad. He came and measured my fence to which I had provided him a half deposit on that same day $1700. He then told me the fence would be ready in 2 weeks, he then said there was an error with the color of the post which took another week. He didn't show for another several weeks to which he then arrived at put up 5 uneven posts. He then said he had family issues and a cold and has promised me a refund or the materials. I gave him the benefit of the doubt as we are all human. He then said he will do the...Read more

Questions & Answers
Lynda K.asked
Did any of the people who complained about Ray get all their money back? Is it even worth while to go to VCAT?
3 answers
Hi Lynda,
as far as I'm aware no one did. I'd been in contact with one or two of his victims since my original post..
P.S.
there was talk of VCAT and I offered to back it up but not much came of it.
Hi Clackers,
It’s really frustrating when con men like Ray can get away with ripping hard working people off. I will try VCAT and try and recoup some of my money. Did you go to VCAT?
