I have been expert witness in NSW Fair Trading against other builders and i have seen the law very well, i also work for Insurance companies and do all the repairs after builders go bust. Maybe other states have different process but in NSW that's just not on, expert witness MUST rely on Australian Standards, BCA clauses, Fair Trading guide of tolerances, Manufacturer instructions and so on, and not on some display house. No two tradies are the same, and they never will be. You can give same carpenter 2 doors to install next to each other, and doors will not be hung the same way, gaps wont be the same, lock will not fit and function the same way, height wont be the same, average people wont notice this but i will. No builder would write or state in his contract that your house will look exactly like the one on display, there is just so many loopholes on how he can get out of it. Once you come to CTTT or local Court same rules apply for builders with display homes and builders without them. I didn't like your post because many new families will read this and understand it wrong way, you basically said if your builder doesn't have a display house, don't build with him, well i have seen it all and i tell them don't EVER fall for their display home, and don't EVER think that you will get anything similar to that display home, regardless if its workmanship or inclusions, thats just my opinion. Im glad you come to these forums and help people, i wish i had more time to do the same. Please don't take it the wrong way Branko. My land is 260m2 (10m x 26m) located in claymore NSW.
