HALL OF SHAME – Liquidated or Builders In Administration Since 2013

Fighting for Subbies Rights

8.06 PM Update.

My apologies one and all, a few kind people on the private members forum have reminded me of a couple of the worst so here are the late editions,

I will add any latecomers as they come in.

I am expecting abusive emails from some of the builders I forgot to mention too, they all hate being left out of anything.

  • Trac Constructions (when we did the Hall of Shame Award nights presentations last year one of our readers was absolutely ropable that Trac didn't win and here I was forgetting them. I placated him by telling him just how close the voting was).
  • Watermark Homes
  • Classic Homes (he took everyones money over to Canada)
  • T.P Turner(June/July 2018)
  • Astute Projects (whoops, counted them twice, sorry guys)
  • Benjamin Constructions (June 2014)

Pretty sure there was one who went to the states with subbies money too...


Following is a list of some of the building companies that have either liquidated or are in Administration since 2013. There are many more but these are the main ones.

Keep your eye out for our end of year awards presentation night for the winner of the Top Ten Builder Liquidation Hall of Shame - See Where You Rank.

To be honest, you are all "rank" but there can only be one recipient of the worst of the year 2018.

Good luck to all, the judges are hard at work and last years winner can still win this year if nothing comes along that has a worse stench.

If I have missed any please email them to me and I will update the list.

ABOUT US

SubbiesUnited is not “anti builder”, we support strong builders.
We are “anti theft” of hard working subbies money.

It’s not just about the builders who go broke, businesses all over Australia Liquidate every day for a variety of reasons.

It’s about the ones that engage in calculated criminal behaviour such as providing false information to the regulators or inducing subbies to work on a site when they know they cannot or are not going to pay them because of a fraudulent scheme. Its about the participation of the banks, pre insolvency advisors and builder appointed Liquidators to fraudulently defeat creditors.

Liquidators should always be appointed by creditors to ensure a thorough investigation takes place.

We want the rogues investigated and prosecuted for fraud. 


  • SubbiesUnited was created to provide subbies with collaborative information on building companies that are showing signs of insolvency or struggling to pay their creditors. The signs are always there, we just need to get the message to each other before it happens.
  • We provide subbies with up to date news on builders in Administration or Liquidation and the best strategies to get a return.
  • There are some extremely litigious builders out there who would rather sue you than pay you. Often they sue you so they don’t have to pay you. We will expose them.
  • The construction industry is renowned for building companies setting up illegal Phoenix operations, shifting assets, then liquidating sending subbies broke. We work with other subcontractor & supplier organisations & Governments to stop what amounts to legalised theft on a massive scale though pre packaged liquidations. Insolvency is used as a means to defraud Subbies.
  • Our aim is to limit the financial damage before it happens with our “members only forum”, an early warning system for the benefit of all our members.
