The Insolvent, Defendant, and the ending of Building CompanyToplace's Billion-Dollar Empire
from June 2023
A Accused adviser turned our lives upside down threatening the safety of everyone in the area. Without proper notification, he began demolishing a major supporting wall on our property, the major load supporting wall of our bedroom. At one period of time he had setup a hose from his roof diverting water into our studio, causing over some several thousand dollars damage to our property and undermining its structural integrity.
Additionally 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 threatened our safety. In spite of our urgent endeavours to rectify the problem with the builder and contacting the council, we were informed the builder's inspector had already signed off on the building renovations, ignoring our concerns and leaving us open to fire.
Despite getting a legal judgement in their favour and compensation for the damages incurred, the emotional toll was immeasurable and created many unpleasant memories. They decided to sell their cherished home, we mourned the loss of our garden refuge, 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, highlighting the necessity for more accountability and legal protection for homeowners.
As we grapple with the consequence of this ordeal, we are left to consider: What recourse do homeowners have when their greatest financial investment are threatened by the neglect of others? {https://www.facebook.com/groups/1240633520160302, Builder
