There is a crisis of confidence in the NSW building industry following the second emergency evacuation of an apartment block in Sydney in six months, the Insurance Council of Australia and Federal Government warns.

The ABC has been told engineers still do not know what the root cause of the problem at Mascot Towers is — but possibilities include groundwater and excavation work being done on the block next door.

Litigation by the building's owners' corporation about a building defect identified before Friday night's evacuation had been ongoing for some time, the Minister's spokesman confirmed.For resident Fabiano Dos Santos, there is very little sign of help forthcoming — but he was allowed back home briefly on Tuesday after four days of being without even a wallet.

"It is very frustrating to see the politicians on TV saying they're giving all the support they can and all the residents are being supported — that's not happening."
