A Fugitive consultant turned our lives upside down threatening the safety of everyone in the area. Without warning, he began demolishing a major supporting wall on our property, the main load supporting wall of our master bedroom. At one point he had constructed a hose from his roof diverted water into our studio, causing over some several thousand dollars damage to our property and undermining its structural integrity.
In addition to outline the lack of building experience, we through investigation found that the intermediate wall did not meet the legal fire rating, a critical oversight that threatened everyone's safety. Despite our urgent attempts to seek resolution the issue with the neighbour's and contacting the council, we were informed the builder's inspector had already signed off on the project, providing no recourse and leaving us vulnerable to fire.
Despite receiving a legal decision in their favour and recompense for the damages incurred, the toll was immeasurable and created many unpleasant memories. They decided to sell their cherished home, we mourned the loss of our garden refuge, another victim of proper government oversight and dangerous building practices. The lack of oversight and appropriate governance by local government allowed this tragedy to unfold, heightening the necessity for more extensive responsibilities and protection for owners.
