I bought a new property where the contract stated that I have 90 days to notify the builder of any defects.
I got a building report and served that together with other defects on the builder.
He wasn't happy when I served the building report and screamed at me over the phone for getting one and now every time I ask him to come and fix it, my garbage bin does not get collected and I have complained to Council about the non-collection.
I don't have concrete evidence, but I think it's the builder has something to do with it because the weeks when I did not ask him to come and fix it, the garbage did get collected. Each time it did not get collected, I told Council about it and they collected it within 48 hours. This has been going on for about 6 months.
Is there something I can do about getting the garbage collected? The total cost of building defects would probably amount to $1000-$10,000 depending on the finish I want. Basically, I would be happy with getting the missing bits installed mainly outside the house.
I don't mind calling the Council each time the garbage does not get collected and get it re-collected (it's a hassle and frustrating) but I am afraid what more the builder can do to our family- could he bring a shotgun and shoot the whole family or is he just playing mind games with me here and showing his disapproval?
