Re: Builders Collective petitioning for a Royal Commission 15Jun 26, 2019 8:34 am Article that appeared today on the ABC website: Apartment owners worried they are living in structurally unsound buildings Link below: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-06-25/ ... d/11246116 Nicole Johnston from Deakin University has just released a report into building safety. She says that would-be owners often have no way of knowing if there are structural problems with their apartments. Quote: "Sometimes it doesn't matter how much due diligence you do, you won't know that these defects are coming," she said. Her report found poor waterproofing, unsafe cladding and fire risks were the most common problems. "The costs involved in going through those rectification works is so much more than it would have been if the job was done right in the first place," Dr Johnston said. Of course the Property Council is running the line that there is nothing to see here: "Purchasers should take heart from the fact that most issues are relatively minor," he said. Quote: "The sorts of incidents we've seen in the media in recent months are quite rare." He said while regulations in the various states and territories differ, there was recourse when owners found their apartment had faults. "If there are defects, then by law builders have to come back and fix those defects at their costs, and that system has been working well," he said. That last sentence isn't the most hilarious sentence in the article however. This one is: A spokesperson for Victorian Planning Minister Richard Wynne said the Victorian Building Authority was working closely with the affected residents.

So they can do something to hold people to account then????? So they are listening?? Let’s see what the outcome is. Also, maybe they could also fund the demolition and rebuilding of my home due to extensive structural damage due to incompetence and lack of regulation, instead of putting me on the Government agency merry-go-round. They can then seek damages from the insurance company. Look at your bill from the electricity company. It should detail the charges. You will need to do some estimating and some calculations.
