Building and Energy is advising homeowners affected by the liquidation of Start Right Homes Pty Ltd (BC14559) to contact QBE to discuss their home indemnity insurance.

The Osborne Park building company, which mainly constructed single-storey houses, appointed liquidators on 7 April 2024.

Building and Energy understands the company is yet to complete 24 projects.

Building and Energy Executive Director Peter Stewart said homeowners with incomplete or defective building work by Start Right Homes should contact QBE on 1300 790 723 to discuss their home indemnity insurance policy.

“Home indemnity insurance provides financial protection for homeowners in situations such as the insolvency of their builder,” he said.

“Contacting the insurance provider enables homeowners to begin the process of engaging another registered builder to complete the work or managing other remedies they may be entitled to.”

Subcontractors affected by Start Right Homes’ liquidation should contact the appointed liquidator, Anthony Warner from CRS Insolvency Services, at info@crspartners.com.au or (02) 9779 3227.
