Unlike the experience of the other 4 written reviews our investment property build project with Inspire Constructions started well enough but sadly ended very poorly.

Build began early 2013, handover at the end of November 2013 and 8 months down the track still a number of outstanding handover and post handover issues remain unresolved. To make the property available to tenants in early January 2014 we had to spend an additional $1,000 finishing build tasks that were not complete at handover or dealt with in the agreed post handover time frame.

Since late November 2013 there would have been in excess of 25 written communications to Inspire requesting completion of outstanding work and rectification of faults / components not delivered at handover. Have sought to resolve them on numerous occasions in writing so as to avoid confusion or misunderstanding but no response received. We also found the consumer affairs path and seeking resolution through the claims court a complex process that has delivered no outcomes.

Sadly it will make us think twice about building again and who we would choose as the builder. The dealings with the builder and the non delivery on commitments made what should have been an exciting project a rather forgettable experience in the end.

Approximate cost: $400,000
