I am no fan of Strata Managers, however our SM could not have known when they took on the management of this complex that aspects of its construction did not meet Building Codes or Australian Standards. It was not until someone was injured (not permanently or seriously) on common property and the experts were called out that this was discovered. So let this thread be about people being able to live in a home that believe will be safe.
I read on a blog this morning that of the new blocks built since 2000 some 85% have reported defects and of these some 75% are still awaiting a satisfactory resolution. If 85% of a car brand were defective the government would have them do a recall and recitify. If I bought a brand of lamp and they were 85% defective same thing. I bought a new LCD TV and was phoned a week later to be advised that it had a fault and I had to return it immediately.
But I can buy a new home, with government help, find faults, find no help and then have to find the money to fix it myself.
