NSW Faulty Work by Unlicenced Builder - What to Do?

[Jonathan B]

In NSW, what can one do if faulty work has been carried out and the builder was not licensed?

Hi,

Builders as trades people are required to be licenced. I would give NSW Fair trading a call and find out what can be done. There is a requirement that all trades people in NSW be licenced and fair trading states that the first offence can result in a fine and subsequent offences can result in imprisonment.

They may also be able to advise how you can get the faulty work remedied. The link to their contact information is here: Contact_us
