The building started in November 2018 for a double storey building which normally will take about 8months. I am now in my 12month and there is no end in sight. They have slowed down significantly since recieving 90% of the payments. They advised that the building has reached completion stage and have collected 90% of the contract fees in June. Since June, they have basically deserted the site. We are now approaching November and they just told me today that they cannot tell me when the building will be completed. I have called and called and called. To make matters worst, they have advised that they will no longer be writing me to tell me of the progress on site but that I will only hear from my supervisor on a fortnightly basis with a Private Number. My problem started when I recieved a call in June advising me that they wanted to start a pre-handover discussion because they are now at a completion stage. After the discussion, I put my house on the market and settled in August thinking that we would have plenty of time especially because there was just so little work to go. From then on, everything went to a standstill. Since moving out of my house, I have had to move into an Air bnb thinking that the remaining amount of work was so little that it will be finished in maximum 2weeks given that there is just a handful of things to complete. Since recieving 90% of the building fees, they suddenly don't have any tradies to do the jobs anymore, basically no one on the site doing anything, its more like an abandoned project since they recieved 90% of the building fees. I called today to follow up and ask when my project will be completed and they told me that they don't know. We are now approaching 13months of the building works. The remaining work on the site will not take the tradies longer than 2hours each to complete and this has been going on for 5months now. I and my family are now in my fourth Air bnb because they could not give me a completion date yet. Whatever savings I achieved have been spent on very expensive Air bnb accommodation. They have made my life very miserable indeed. I am definitely going to approach the VCAT and other building authorities and hopefully they will do something. I will definitely keep this forum informed of my daily travails. Hi all, We are looking to build a new two storey house in western Sydney. Can anyone recommend a smallish builder to go with?
