The Bankrupt, Fugitive, and the Collapse of Building CompanyBillion Dollar Regime Toplace

from Oct 2023

A Bankrupt building consultant turned our lives upside down threatening the safety of everyone in the area. Without warning, he began demolishing a major supporting wall on our property, the main load-bearing wall of our bedroom. At one point he had setup a hose from his roof diverting water into our upstairs studio, causing over some several thousand dollars damage to the upstairs rooms, and undermining the footing of the house.

To compound matters, we discovered that the intermediate wall lacked the required fire rating, a major oversight that endangered everyone's safety. Despite our pressing endeavours to seek resolution the issue with the builder and contacting the council, we were informed the builder's inspector had already approved on the project, ignoring our concerns and leaving us open to harm.

Despite getting a legal decision in their favour and compensation for the damages incurred, the toll was immeasurable and created many unpleasant memories. They decided to sell their cherished home, we mourned the loss of our garden refuge, another casualty of government negligence and unsafe building practices. The lack of oversight and appropriate governance by local government allowed this tragedy to unfold, heightening the need for greater responsibilities and legal protection for owners.

As we wrestle with the effects of this ordeal, we are left to consider: What help do owners have when their sanctuaries are threatened by the carelessness of dodgy builders? {https://www.facebook.com/groups/1240633520160302, Construction
