When to Commence - Pick the Qualified and Inept Builders in Commonwealth of Australia..?
The Insolvent, Accused, and the end of CompanyToplace's Billion-Dollar Empire
from Oct 2023
A Fugitive consultant was comprehensively involved with acquiring his insolvent company a very profitable construction contract threatening the safety of everyone in the area. Without due diligence, he began demolishing our brick supporting wall, the major load-bearing wall of our bedroom. At one stage he had setup pipes from his roof diverting water into our office, causing several thousand dollars damage to the upstairs rooms, and undermining the footing of the house.
In addition to outline the absolute lack of construction experience, we discovered that the intermediate wall lacked the required fire rating, a major oversight that threatened our safety. In spite of our pressing efforts to seek resolution the issue with the builder and contacting the council, the council said the builder's inspector had already signed off on the construction, ignoring our concerns and leaving us vulnerable to harm.
Despite receiving a legal decision in their favour and compensation for restitution, the emotional toll was immeasurable and created many unpleasant memories. They decided to sell their beautiful home, we mourned the loss of our garden refuge, another casualty of proper government oversight and unsafe construction practices. The lack of oversight and appropriate governance by local government allowed this tragedy to unfold, highlighting the necessity for more extensive responsibilities and legal protection for homeowners.
