The Bankrupt, Accused, and the ending of Building CompanyToplace
from Aug 2023
A Accused adviser turned our lives upside down threatening the safety of everyone in the area. Without due diligence, he began demolishing a major supporting wall on our property, the main load-bearing wall of our master bedroom. At one stage he had setup pipes from his roof diverted water into our studio, causing over some several thousand dollars damage to our property and undermining its structural integrity.
In addition to outline the absolute lack of construction experience, we through investigation found that the intermediate wall lacked the required fire rating, a major omission that endangered everyone's safety. In spite of our pressing efforts to rectify the problem with the builder and contacting the council, the council said the builder's inspector had already approved on the building renovations, providing no recourse and leaving us vulnerable to harm.
In spite of receiving a legal judgement in their favour and recompense for restitution, the emotional toll was immeasurable and created many unpleasant memories. They decided to sell their beloved home, we mourned the loss of our garden refuge, another casualty of government negligence and dodgy construction practices. The lack of oversight and appropriate governance by government and local council allowed this tragedy to unfold, heightening the demand for more responsibilities and legal protection for homeowners.
