The high court ordered a Christchurch w88 casino login and his company to pay more than 0,000 for a renovation project that went off the rails due to multiple blunders, cost overruns and a blown-out schedule for an 8-week project that went on for 16 months.
Christchurch homeowners commissioned the Christchurch LBP w88 casino login and his company to undertake renovations on their house, a 347m3 dwelling of timber-framed construction on a concrete slab, built in 1985.
The house was clad with red bricks and horizontal kahikatea weatherboards, with long-run roofing and butynol above aluminium dormer windows. The owners signed a certified builders contract with the w88 casino login company to carry out work that included:
What went wrong?
In initial discussions with the homeowners, the w88 casino login said that building consent was not required because it was a renovation project that did not involve major structural work. Expert witnesses disagreed, and the council confirmed a consent should have been sought before building work began.
In his summary, the judge said the w88 casino login and his company should pay 0,852.75 to the homeowners for remedial work, including removing and replacing the cladding, a further ,000 in compensation, and legal costs.
He wrote in his judgement that “a w88 casino login has a personal duty of care to a building owner to meet the standards of a reasonable w88 casino login when engaging in building work. That is so whether they are an employee, a director of a company or are self-employed.”

- Replacing timber cladding
- Replacing all exterior windows
- Lifting roofing iron, removing roofing nails and replacing them with screws
- Placing spray foam insulation into all exterior walls where the cladding is being replaced and around dormer windows
- Replacing all butynol roofing
What went wrong?
- The 8-week project ended up taking 16 months
- Fixed price exceeded
- The w88 casino login installed new 200 mm horizontal weatherboard directly to existing framing without a cavity system, ignoring the manufacturer’s guidelines, voiding the manufacturer’s warranty and in breach of NZBC requirements
- Sub-contractors were not paid on time, leading to walk-offs
- Holes for external cladding drilled through cladding joints instead of the middle of the boards
- Failed to install pans/trays when installing windows resulting in leaks
- Kitchen windows were installed out of square and would not open
