Builder collapse: 'We haven't just taken money and run'
A builder has defended his Queensland company after news broke that it had gone into liquidation, owing more than $250,000 and leaving homes unfinished.
Aaron Steel contacted News Corp after it was reported his Maroochydore-based company Lusso Concepts had gone into liquidation.
He said he didn't want to go too far into detail but said financial difficulty that led to his firm's collapse had arisen from an owner of an unfinished home wanting to renegotiate terms of a contract.

"We've got a young family.
