Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Jan 21, 2015 9:26 am Hi We built out home with a complete waste of space builder in sydney. He is refusing to issue any of our certificates. The whole build he has been so shifty so it came as no surprise when a heap of different excuses were given over the weeks after handover as to why he hadn't given them to us. Thankfully we have Fair Trading involved now but even they get played by his deceptive delaying tactics. He refuses to even issue copies of anything... Apart from FT getting involved, what other options do I have to having this (and a million other issues) fixed??? We have shaming him everywhere in the hope his work will eventually dry up, cos I'm sure we aren't his first clients to be treated like this Thanks Re: Builder won't issue any certificates post-build 2Jan 21, 2015 9:52 am Is your builder registered? Is there a building permit? Do you have your own independent inspector?

Pest, frames, wet areas, interim OC, etc etc. All were meant to be presented at handover but excuses were given - "I'll drop them around tonight" and "they're in the mail", or "your certifier has them". We ring Certifiers office and they said No we don't have any of them... So we are led up the garden path chasing around for our certs... Re: Builder won't issue any certificates post-build 8Jan 23, 2015 12:46 pm I didn't even know you were supposed to get all those at handover. Will definitely keep that in mind! Sounds very d*dgy to me.... Could you complain the body that registers the builders? Surely they can pressure him? Re: Builder won't issue any certificates post-build 9Jan 25, 2015 4:00 pm How can you have handover if the building surveyor hasn't provided a compliance certificate? For the building surveyor to issue a compliance certificate, they would require all the individual building certificates. Can you give advice on how to get missing certificates needed for a form 21? Our bank requires us to provide one but we are missing 4 building certificates from our first… 3 57169 the conduit would need to be undamaged regardless of what network is in play.
