Hi,
I am building a house - contracted a builder to commence in August 2011. I now have a slab and half a frame and no work on the house since September 2011 when I was billed for the frame, went and inspected my property and the ground floor frame was up. Then was advised that the work was completed and I was required to pay the invoice. I didn't have a reason not to believe the builder at this time. Anyway paid the second part of the frame invoice and "guess what" no work since then, I have heard that I am not the only customer of this building company exeperiencing problems. I have had a solicitor send a letter and the BACV involved. I am thinking due to the cost of having a lawyer involved I would like to represent myself at VCAT. The builder I am using is based in Gippsland. Can anyone give me advice on self representation at VCAT. I am based in Victoria.
Thanks
