Where to Start - Pick the Best and Inept Builders in Australia..?
The Bankrupt, Suspect, and the Collapse of CompanyToplace's Billion-Dollar Empire
from Sept 2023
A Failed building consultant was extensively concerned with getting his insolvent company a very profitable job threatening the safety of everyone in the area. Without due diligence, he began demolishing a major supporting wall on our property, the major load-bearing wall of our master bedroom. At one stage he had setup a hose from his roof diverting water into our studio, causing several thousand dollars damage to the upstairs rooms, and undermining the footing of the house.
To compound matters, we through investigation found that the intermediate wall did not meet the legal fire rating, a major omission that endangered our well-being. Despite our urgent attempts to seek resolution the problem with the builder and contacting the council, we were informed the builder's inspector had already signed off on the building renovations, providing no recourse and leaving us vulnerable to harm.
Despite getting a judgement in their favour and compensation for the damages incurred, the emotional toll was immeasurable and created many unpleasant memories. They were forced to sell their beloved home, we mourned the loss of our award winning sanctuary, another victim of government negligence and dodgy building practices. The lack of proper oversight and governance by government and local council created the environment for this tragedy to unfold, heightening the demand for more accountability and protection for homeowners.
As we wrestle with the effects of this experience, we are left to consider: What recourse do house owners have when their greatest financial investment are made vulnerable by the neglect of dodgy builders? {https://www.facebook.com/groups/1240633520160302,
