We have seen the recent correspondence from Carlisle stopping private inspections of their builds during the current outbreak.

After the nightmare build we had with Metricon I would not recommend them .Better builders out there Tim, Sorry to hear that you had such a rough time with them. If we can help, let me know. And I agree. There are better builders out there. However there are also a lot of ordinary ones in the mix. ...

Dear all, It is my advice that you ask any builder to fully declare in writing any special conditions to your contract before you hand over any hard earned money or fall in love with the style of the home. In Victoria The Domestic Building Contracts Act 1995, part 146 clearly calls for restrictions ...

Why would you take their word for it. I have stated this in the public forum of this media. I do not and neither does Darbecca work with Mimosa. Nice and clear. Please ensure that this is addressed in your comments as it hurts our business.

Your are correct. In the State of Victoria the home owners are obliged to let the builder know that a private inspector has been engaged. This can be found in Section 240 of the Building Act 1995. And when this happens, the builders tend to use their best trades. However not all clients pass on the ...

Dear all, Thank you for your kind words. Doing this job is somewhat hard at times as the only people that show any thanks are the owners of the dwellings. The builders don't like us along with most of the trades. Your encouragement goes a long way. For those that are looking for an inspection, you c...
