Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 11, 2016 3:29 pm Dear All, Please be aware that Long Island Homes have placed in their contract a clause that states: The home owner is only allowed to use a Licensed Private Inspector. There is no current License for a Private Inspectors. Jeff Kennett removed it from the Act in 1996. The Inspectors they are referring to in the contract are Building Inspectors that look at Mandatory Items only. Section 240 of the Building Act states that you can appoint who you wish. They cannot contract out of this Act and all persons considering building with this company should be aware of the builders reasons. Darbecca has been holding Long Island Homes Accountable for their builds since Long Island Homes started. In the past we have been contacted by the Director of Long Island Homes (Danny) to assist him with a quality QA process. Darbecca has refused based on the fact that we only assist home owners. Darbecca wants no conflict of interest as our home owners have always been our priority. Clearly Long Island Homes do not want companies like Darbecca to review their works. What have you got to hide Long Island Homes? Anybody looking to build with this builder can contact me at darren@darbecca.com.au and I will send you a report done on one of their homes. See what they are trying to stop us finding. I hope this helps.
