Yangebup builder warned by Building Commission

Yangebup building company Bellagio Homes has been formally cautioned by the Building Commission's building services board for falling to comply with State Administrative Tribunal orders.

In May last year, Bellagio Homes was ordered to remedy construction of a boundary wall at a property in Bicton, obtain certification from a structural engineer, and to pay costs of $1,500 to the home owner by June 17 2015.

Bellagio Homes failed to complete the rectification work and provide the required structural engineering certification by the required date.

Although the company did rectify the work and provide the certification shortly after the deadline, building commissioner Peter Gow said Bellagio Homes failed to meet its obligations as a registered builder.

“This matter is unacceptable and not what we expect of a registered builder,” he said.

“Registered builders who fail to maintain proper standards or who act inappropriately can be disciplined or deregistered.

“The Building Commission will continue to hold to account and name those who put consumer interests and the reputation of the building company at risk.”

Mr Gow said this instance highlighted the importance of the registration system.
