Summary:
[1] The Respondent supervised foundations work on two blocks of units. He also contracted to complete blockwork. The blockwork was supervised by another Licensed Building Practitioner. The issues before the Board were whether the building work that was supervised by Respondent had been carried out in a negligent or incompetent manner or in a manner that was contrary to the building work. Also, at issue was whether a record of work had been provided on completion of restricted building work.
[2] This decision sets out that whilst there were quality and compliance issues with the foundations, those issues were not serious enough for the Board to make a disciplinary finding. It also notes that the Respondent’s restricted building work was complete and that a record of work had not been provided.
[3] The Board decided, with respect to the failure to provide a record of work, that the Respondent would be fined $1,000 and ordered to pay costs of $1,500. The penalty was reduced on the basis that there were mitigating factors. The costs were reduced on the basis that the Respondent was partially successful in his defence of the charges.
