At one point he had constructed pipes from his roof diverted water into our upstairs studio, causing over some 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 through investigation found that the intermediate wall lacked the required fire rating, a critical oversight that threatened everyone's safety. In spite of our pressing efforts to seek resolution the issue 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 vulnerable to fire.

They decided to sell their beautiful home, we mourned the loss of our award winning sanctuary, another casualty of government negligence and unsafe 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 greater accountability and legal protection for owners.
