An experienced construction boss is warning Gold Coasters planning their dream home to do due diligence to ensure their builder “is not about to go broke”.
And for those waiting for prices to drop before starting a build, he’s urging them to get in quick because it is likely costs will never return to pre-Covid levels.
“It’s not about fear mongering, it’s about a perfect storm of problems that are affecting the construction industry,” Mike Mellare, of Ormeau-based Complete Home Extensions said.
