Some years ago we had communications from Consumer Affairs Victoria that they will enforce penalties for breaches of DBCA1995, example making progress claim for stage whilst incomplete + $3K penalty I have never heard of any builder ever paying the penalty. Enforcement? Short of a revolution and heads rolling it won't happen.

We have an investigation report from your inspector prepared last November. At fixing stage the inspector and I spent 4 hours on site investigating Metricon's workmanship. We identified 76 building defects, many serious and structural. We forwarded this report to Metricon asking them to detail their plans to fix before we make the next fixing stage progress payment. We identified further defects on subsequent inspections and again asked Metricon to fix. So far Metricon's responses have been dismissive, inadequate and misleading. When it became clear they had no intention to properly inspect their own work or deliver workmanship to Australian standards and our contract we sent an email to Metricon's owner asking him to assist their NSW senior management team to resolve. As a result of this they have now promised to inspect and report on their workmanship, and propose solutions to the defects which include issues like floors not level, walls and ceilings not straight and plumb as well as poor site drainage risking slab heave.
