The Executive Committee commissioned the structural engineers report, and is therefore responsible for payment.
The engineer is entitled to be paid in full without delay. This cost then recovered from rogue renovator.
The changes made will need to be rectified so structural integrity is restored, especially the roof.
The rogue renovator will need to be charged for cost of repairs and professional fees, but body corporate will pay the contractor and advisers, and then recover these costs from rogue renovator.
Important to separate rogue renovator from all those involved in restoration as interference is likely.
If you hear renovation noises from a unit then discovering what is happening early on can help avoid a very messy situation.
Seeking legal advice would be worthwhile consideration.
