Today the builder made a goodwill offer of compensation of approx' 25% of the cost of rectification. Better than nothing. Not likely to accept the offer, however, as ultimately we will be significantly out of pocket if going down the rectification route and perhaps even more so if we 'live with it' and down the track go to sell.

Builders don't adequately manage and supervise their projects, and tradespeople and subcontractors don't read documentation and drawings. Then they build something incorrectly and try to play on the fact that to rectify it is extremely difficult and/or costly, to try and get the client to let them get away with it. No other industry would get away with that. Re: 45+ visible nail holes in new Polished Concrete slab 20Feb 08, 2016 6:37 pm You may find more help if you read your PM private messages.

Advice here can support your situation, as do I, but VCAT will need way more input and evidence. IMHO that is.
