"I've been in the business since 1991, with the same company 4S Constructions, and definitely during that journey, I've done mistakes," Mr Farag said.
He told the ABC that he would meet with residents and fix the issues, blaming subcontractors for the defects."Every mistake I've done, I've paid the price for it … I'm still standing, still fighting for better products, better materials," he said.Residents at one apartment block built by Mr Farag said they had been forced to pay tens of thousands of dollars to fix defects which included leaking pipes and cracks in walls.
Inside some apartments, mould and even mushrooms had grown because of poor drainage and constantly leaking pipes. An emergency order was issued for the apartment block during a statewide audit of buildings with cladding, due to concerns about the combustible cladding on the block. As a result, gardens were removed and residents were warned the building may need to be vacated because of safety concerns."That was a cost of about $100,000 on to the owners all because [the builder] didn't put in the right wiring and the fire alarms weren't working and that's dangerous,'' Mr Staples said."It's been an absolute nightmare, I wish we had never bought the place," Mr Staples said.
More evidence of a crashing housing market as developers cut corners to try and grow profits.
That is gross 🤢🤣
If only the company could grow bath-rooms; bed-rooms and lounge-rooms not mush-rooms they would be onto something!
Saves time shopping..
No surprise. The const industry here is as dodgy as it gets; it's boys club stuff on steroids - bullies, bikies, crims of all types, no scruples. Couple that w an ineffectual corrupt govt & what we get is bldgs that wouldn't even pass code in the developing world get built here.
Get Bill Shorten to take a look.
