It was like reading my own biography. Same issues here with Coral Homes. Handed over two years ago, saga ongoing, same defects either not fixed or made worse. Total of about 7 weeks of leave from work to get to this point. And god knows how worse off we would be if I wasn’t at the house every day of construction reporting on issues. I’m going through FT now simply as the required mechanism to get to NCAT. I’ve represented myself at NCAT before and won, but have been quoted $10-15k for a solicitor to represent me, plus expect building reports to present as evidence at about $5k. It is rubbish that cost will be a barrier to some to take it to NCAT. If you can represent yourself you’re saving yourself a huge legal expense but you absolutely need the expert report (not just your ordinary stage inspection report) as the tribunal will throw your case out until you can provide this. All the very best Any updates Mrsjm? Re: Dealings with NSW Fair Trading and Builders 11Aug 17, 2023 8:32 am If the issue related to potential major defect NSW fair trading will contact you with in 2 days and then inspector will be allocated to your build to inspect the defect, once defect found Fair trading will issue work order for the builder that he need to fix with in specific time, if the builder doesn't comply then Fair trading will escalate the case to NCAT(NSW civil administrative tribunal) those guys have more power and can cancel builder license and can render the builder insolvent if he doesn't respond or ignore work order.
