    Hi Ezt,

    Ring the Queensland Building Regulatory Authority (or whatever it is called in Q) and/or MOFT to see where you stand.

    In my experience of building houses in Queensland and also in WA the first payment for building costs takes place with the completion of the slab.

    All the best with the matter – I trust it is resolved to your son’s satisfaction.

    although the company was registared in Qld it had a licence to build in NSW which is where the property is, A friend said to see a solicitor and file a writ , but untill we get the letter we can not do any thing . The $10.000 was to start the building process. rolling[ down hill evidently]
    thought I should let others know. and yes we will be asking questions to Cavalier builders and I may even get physical . No I wont be exercising or dancing. unless its on some ones toes. EZY is hurting [wacko]I suppose They could have started and collected a lot more money , in the bigger scheme of things $10.000 is not to much , a little less in the pocket and egg on my face[blush2] I have not earned any thing but I have definatly learned a lesson[buz2]
