If they do not make the consumer aware of this before the sale they are mis representing their service and deceiving customers who are paying them to inspect on this basis. This behaviour is neither ethical or legal per Australian Consumer Law. I think the directors of APBI should be ashamed of themselves, and they should act immediately to apologise to and reimburse brightstarshine and other previous customers who have paid them good money for a service they have promised but not delivered. They should also make it very clear at all the point of sale communications that they do not intend to check to Australian standards and tolerances. This will allow potential customers to make up their own minds as to whether they are the right company for their home inspection. small_minds what’s your opinion?
Re: Building inspector - not really worth it 19Nov 21, 2019 4:59 pm I currently have them as my private inspector. The inspector they first gave me was ok, was able to identify numerous defects but come stage three, was told that he resigned and they sent another one to do our inspection. Was surprised how the report came from 20+ defects from the previous inspector to almost nothing. He was also supposed to check the ceiling and insulation of the property as that's one of the major point in the inspection but he wrote on the report that it's not yet installed. We have identified a lot of things too obvious which were not even in the report. I have been emailing their manager recently and told them I'm very dissatisfied with their service and would like another inspection. She was saying it is pointless as the plasterboard are already covering the ceiling. I might be asking for a refund but I doubt they will give in to that.

They should be reported to fair trades or QBCC. I am trying to figure out how to report them but not sure if I have the energy to fight these big pockets. do not pay until you are satisfied with workmanship windows require flashing over the head archithrave and up under weatherboards 3 28243 I would send it to the certifier who is technically your representative and working on your behalf not the builder's 1 2228 I do enjoy the drama:-D In his latest two videos he has started bringing security guards to site, I am waiting for the punch on to begin lol 6 45438 |
