We have some work that needs to be done (I’m in NSW) and one SC member has supplied a quote. The member did disclose that he is related to the service provider. When the SM checked the quote it was established the provider is a sole trader and is non-compliant for the works required – no contractors licence, no business or w/c insurance.
The response from the SM that there were ‘ways around this’ by working under the umbrella of a parent company.
My issue is that:
a) Sc is related to service provider
b) SM appears to be encouraging approval of this quote
c) Service provider only has an ABN – no trade qualifications in anything.
The work is around $25K, so it is quite substantial. I have provided a quote from an independent company who has been in the business for 47 years and is fully compliant yet there appears to be resistance to this. The work does not affect my lot but for this amount of money it should be done professionally. And yes I have raised my concerns to the SM to no avail.
It appears the other SC members don’t really care as the work doesn’t affect their lots either.
