When Regulators Fail: The True Cost of Construction Oversight Gaps
🏗️ When Regulators Fail: The True Cost of Construction Oversight Gaps
Roofbuddy’s previous company, Complete Roofing Solutions, was liquidated owing $2.2M to creditors.
Seems there were a few issues with prior work (my builds included).
I had reported the poor workmanship to the builders board (and the TA inspectors) focused on the site’s supervision to begin with in the assumption that the Board would fully investigate.
They acknowledged there “may have been workmanship not to an acceptable standard” but deemed it “not serious enough” to warrant investigation. Undeterred, I tried again. The result? My complaint was summarily dismissed.
The Roofing Association of NZ is pushing for Licensed Building Practitioners certification for all roofing work – a change that can’t come soon enough.
