The liquidator of failed Gold Coast builder Pivotal Homes has found the company did not hold enough assets to perform the amount of work it was undertaking.
As a result, director Michael Irwin may personally have to find up to $550,000 to tip into the liquidation fund.
Meanwhile, Mr Iwin has emerged as the second largest unsecured creditor of the company, claiming he’s owed $417,670.
Pivotal’s licence history shows it had a maximum revenue limit of $30m but logged 211 residential construction jobs worth $56.7m in 2020-21.
It logged 105 jobs worth $30.5m in the current financial year.
Liquidator Chris Cook found Pivotal had lodged two deeds of covenant, worth $350,000 and $550,000 in order to meet financial requirements of its building licence.
Deeds of covenant are provided by a third party, usually a director, as an assurance to support the company when it doesn’t meet the asset requirements for its licence category.
The deed amount can then be claimed by the company in the event of a liquidation.
