🎉 End-of-Year Special: As we wrap up this year, we bring you a story that's both compelling and cautionary. Join us in Greenvale, Victoria, for what we hoped would be a showcase of stellar construction, but turned out to be quite the opposite.

🏠 A Dream Home in Disarray: This double-story home, with its diverse cladding including brickwork, Hebel, EPS with render, and Scyon Stria boards, promised luxury and style. Yet, the reality couldn't be further from the promise. Despite being paid in full, the builder has left this house far from completion.

🚧 A Litany of Issues: From a home that's still not lock-up ready to cladding that deviates from the approved working drawings, the problems are just the tip of the iceberg. The sub-floor framing defies engineering standards, and to make matters worse, the house is plagued with leaks in multiple locations.

💔 A Family's Devastation: The homeowners, anticipating moving in before Christmas, are now facing a harsh reality. It seems the builder's timeline may have been for Christmas 2024!

🏅 2023's Worst Builder: Strap in for an eye-opening journey through what we've deemed the work of Victoria's worst builder for 2023. This isn't just an inspection; it's a lesson in vigilance for every homeowner.
