Len Fode Roofing — consumer complaints
4800. Hon Alison Xamon to the Minister for Commerce
I refer to complaints to the Builders’ Registration Board regarding Len Fode Roofing, and I ask —
(1) Please specify the date(s) that complaints were made against this company?
(2) What was the nature of the complaints?
(3) What actions has the Builders’ Registration Board taken in response to these complaints?
(4) If no action has been taken, why not?
Hon SIMON O’BRIEN replied:
(1) No formal complaint is recorded as having been received by the then Builders Registration Board in relation to Len Fode Roofing. However, information was received on 15 March 2011 that indicated that a possible breach of the Builders’ Registration Act 1939 had been committed.
(2) The information received indicated that Mr Len Fode, trading as Len Fode Roofing, may have contracted for and performed building work consisting of the reroofing of a commercial premises with a value in excess of the prescribed amount of $20,000 whilst not being a registered builder.
(3) An investigation was undertaken in relation to the matter. As a result of the investigation a formal warning was issued to Mr Fode, for performing building works whilst not registered as a builder, contrary to section 4(1)(A)(b) of the Builders’ Registration R Act 1939.
(4) Not applicable, see response to (3).
