It's not only aspiring new home owners who have been left in the lurch since the deregistration of construction company Nicheliving. Subcontractors, like this crane owner, are feeling the pain of tens of thousands of dollars in unpaid bills.

A crane hired by deregistered building company Nicheliving has racked up more than $70,000 in unpaid fees.

The company's directors, their spouses, and other related entities also agreed not to seek registration for the next 10 years. One of those creditors is Urban Cranes, which supplied the crane for a Nicheliving apartment development on Beaufort Street in Inglewood. "Everyone knows the Niche story and what they're like, and they know they're not going to get paid," he said."They would have been lucky to get maybe 10 per cent utilisation out of that crane since it's been up.""We've issued them demand notices. We've gone into their office. We've constantly called them every day," he said.
