Key Building Consultants. 35Apr 05, 2019 1:08 pm Queensland is waging a campaign to ensure that subbies are paid and unscrupulous builders don’t just run up a series of unpaid bills with their tradesmen and then vapourise, which is great and well worthwhile. The otherside of the coin, as you say Save H2O, is the consumer that gets stuck because a builder either has a pattern of not managing projects properly and not taking personal responsibility- hitting up the owner because they think they already have so much invested that they will cave and stump up the cash, or just walk away and not do the work. Either way they are unethical and don’t deserve to be in the business . I would like Mick De Brinni (the qld state minister responsible), the QBCC and the other regulators to take this stuff seriously and chase and prosecute builders who do the wrong thing. I am not sure what you are suggesting KKS but there comes a point where the relationship with the builder gets to the point where you can’t deal with it by yourself and needs an external party to adjudicate. If one party complies with the contract and the other deliberately doesn’t then there clearly isn’t a huge amount of wriggle room for negotiations. Re: Building inspectors views. Key Building Consultants. 36Apr 05, 2019 2:10 pm kks This Australian concept that a third-party agency will gallop over the horizon to solve problems. Fascinating. Re: Building inspectors views. Key Building Consultants. 37Apr 05, 2019 2:35 pm I agree with you there re the contracts. It is interesting, you have a cooling off period unless you get legal advice then you don’t. Given all the palava the ACCC goes through with the AUSTRALIAN consumer guarantee etc, there is sod all protection against unscrupulous builders in a market where people are making the biggest purchase of their lives. Your house should come in "as new" condition. It should be clean, and without stains 1 4555 That is a really good attitude Akin to you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
