TOUGHER government regulation is required to stop anybody buying a building company and running it into liquidation, a subbies advocate has declared.
Subbies United advocacy group spokesman John Goddard wants better regulations to make it more difficult for people to manage a building company.
"They should be a builder, do a course and know how the building industry works,” Mr Goddard said.
"You can have any blow-in come in here.
"It's just a rort.
"They know nothing about the industry.”
Mr Goddard said when he was a young apprentice it was difficult to climb to the top of the building industry.
"Anyone can run a building company these days,” he said.
In my experience, you needed to be a builder to have a building company, the builder was trained and hands on.
A perfect example of what I was referring to is Queensland One Homes and the company the contracts were novated to, Empire Constructions. Q1 director ex army, Empire director a nurse.
Your honour I rest my case..
