Builder withholding compliance certificate

Savill Welcome to the forum
It wasn't that long ago I saw a builder nudge the client out the front door and basically told them
"...dont come back until you have the final payment cheque"
Things haven't basically changed in decades.
My point is the battlers and punters have no protection, once they sign the building contract,
OT, LOL and the Fed & state govts have given the builders $55K, so they aint going to upset the apple cart (so as to speak)
Cheers

It’s illegal under the domestic building contract act to withhold certificates. Also contract paid in full builder wants $30 outside the contract .. crooks
