We had a Nightmare using DB homes Australia to build our three grannyflats. They took one year to build with many defects. DB homes Australia stopped work during the build For around two months,so then we needed to contact fair trading. Fair trading request them to fix and complete the grannyflats. DB homes Australia charged us $550 per week (total $10,000) for holding cost for stopping work and charged us for work they did not complete . (Only When we got to Ncat they dropped the holding cost ). Fair trading could not resolve this . We went to NCAT and our lawyer negotiated some money for work dB homes Australia did not complete and for some defects. We then had a hearing with the Member from NCAT and both Building consultants gave evidence that the damp proof course on three grannyflats are defects and need replacement. The member ordered dB homes Australia to replace the damp proof course on three grannyflats .We and our tenants are inconvenienced needing to allow dB homes Australia back to replace the defective damp proof course around all of the grannyflats . The cost of a lawyer and building consultant has been costly and very stressful. Since NCAT we have new defects/repairs ,sewage holding water with not enough flow & defected gully . We have contacted project manager Jason he has referred us to their lawyer. DB homes caused cracking to walls at our grannyflat at Marayong when replacing the DPC.

We are going back to NCAT to recover the damages caused by dB homes Australia.
