A TEAM of business owners who battled to rebuild for months after a building company collapsed say the key to fixing the industry lies with the Queensland Building and Construction Commission.
Tru-Flow Services directors Matt Ostrofski and Dan Brassel were left about $100,000 out-of-pocket when Cullens Group collapsed days before Christmas in 2016.
Their insurance eventually covered half the loss after a long and drawn-out process.
The Ipswich business was dealt a second major blow just one month after Cullens, when Betair Constructions folded.
Two builders going bust on either side of Christmas left the business partners fighting to secure cash flow.
"It was bad and it took a long time to recover," Mr Ostrofski said.
"It takes 12 to 18 months to get out of that hurt."
