Yes PerthGirl there is. The builders registration board is there to deal with disputes between a builder and a client when an agreement cannot be reached between the two parties.

Even if it is "sorted" I am nervous as what are the long term issues.
It's just stuff that should not happen if decent trades were used and they took…

OMG. Incorrectly hung door and a floor that is so unlevel. What has BTH said about that? Surely that is not within tolerances. They must have to rectify that. Was…

Waiting on Ben to get back to us on the state of our stairs, ceiling, render, electrics, and overall build in general. Let's just say we are not happy at…

Assume electrical work for the LED's. And some fitness cardio work on the stairs perhaps?

You have to love tradies don't you.
Our brand new Tassie oak stair treads laid on Friday are now all chipped and damaged on the front of them. Looks like some…

It's all to do with R-codes (distance from the boundary, habitable rooms etc) and if neighbours object or not.
You can always have windows but may have to apply translucent film…

Balustrades went in Friday but not sure how they can render now, may have to remove it first?…
