Sydney high-rise in Mascot evacuated after residents spot cracks in building https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-06-14/ ... d/11212816 And the only reason it does make the news is because it affects so many people. If it was a private home falling to bits, as has happened to more than one person on this forum, it wouldn't make the news nor would they be evacuated. Re: Builder demands $201,118 for non compliant defective wor 155Jun 15, 2019 9:52 am Zorro6 Nothing is 100 percent in a build if you get a 90 percent you’re doing well. That is a defeatist attitude only made possible by the lack of new home buyer consumer protection that many builders take advantage of. Zorro6 If trades were paid more instead of building companies cutting them to the bone they could spend more time and would not have to rush from job to job. Tradies leave the domestic sector to do commercial work because it pays better. If a tradie isn't happy with rates offered, they are free to say no. Houses have to be built to comply with the National Construction code (NCC), Australian Standards referenced in the NCC when called up as Deemed To Satisfy (DTS) solutions, certified Performance Solutions included in the contract and other certified engineered solutions used during the build where/when necessary. Builders need to have onsite quality control (QC) to ensure that work done by contractors meets the builder's contractural and regulatoty obligations. For years, many builders have failed in numerous construction stages to do this and the new home owners are the ones who suffer through no fault of their own. Many such failures have become endemic because of the lack of proper builders QC and industry self regulation that accepts self certification as proof of compliance. A Royal Commission is needed to expose the massive extent of such issues. Disingenuous comments that scoff at the need for a Royal Commission are disrespectful to the hundreds of thousands of new home owners who have been badly affected in recent times by industry regulatory bodies, bureaucrats and politicians who have failed miserably to act to better protect new home buyers and clean up the industy. It has be the various regulatory bodies task to ensure that a compliant product is delivered, not the new home buyer who is often financially disadvantaged at the end of their build and unable to pursue their legal options. 3in1 Supadiverta.

Re: Builder demands $201,118 for non compliant defective wor 158Jun 15, 2019 6:41 pm That’s just it , it doesn’t exist at the moment but I think it would be far more effective than a so called royal commission. Insurance companies need to address this gap but I think if consumers want it they would provide. There are two benefits to this one the home builder would be entitled to claim for any defects to be fixed and two the insurance company would then sue the builder for defective work. Re: Builder demands $201,118 for non compliant defective wor 159Jun 15, 2019 7:09 pm And who will insure the builders when it looks like building surveyors are hard put to it to find insurance at the moment? In fact it is possible that very soon the entire Australian building industry will grind to a halt.

Regulations need to be enforced and that is not happening at the moment. A Royal Commission could examine the failings in the industry and make recommendations as to how things can be improved. That is what the banking Royal Commission did and nobody would argue that it wasn't needed or useful. It certainly wasn't just a means for lawyers to make a lot of money. ask the surveyor for clarification would be the logical approach 1 20124 6 11528 Thanks mate. Yeah good points!
