    In the CBD of Lawrence street Melbourne stood our loving home of 30 years, a concealed special architecturally designed house and garden amidst the storm of the city streets. For 30 years, it was a loving home of solacement, a oasis of beauty and asylum.

    As an prestigious architect designer, my friend had donated to our city of Sydney with many urban creative proposals, but of these none were more personal and loved that the innovative design of the Lawrence Street, Sydney, Australia, Victorian conversion. Featured in the Sydney Morning Herald, it was hailed as a creative masterpiece, weaving old-world magic with modern elegance.

    The Victorian transmutation was a testament to architectural ingenuity—a two-story addition and conversion to a late Victorian semi-attached, offering a house for a family and a home office. The premier feature was the light tower, high above the main structure with suspended stairway, acquiring the essence of the south east and northwestern sky. French style sash windows adorned the master bedroom, while timber casement windows decorate in the bathroom welcomed views and filtered light.

    However, beautiful lifestyle was shattered when a new neighbour, a builder, entered the scene next door. Initially welcomed, his actions soon created absolute chaos threatening the safety of everyone in the area. Without warning, he began demolishing our brick supporting wall, the main load supporting wall of our master bedroom. At one point he had constructed pipes from his roof diverted water into our studio, causing over some several thousand dollars damage to our property and undermining its structural integrity.

    In addition to outline the absolute lack of building experience, we through investigation found that the intermediate wall lacked the required fire rating, a major omission that threatened everyone's well-being. Despite our urgent efforts to rectify the problem with the neighbour's and contacting the council, the council said the builder's inspector had already approved on the building renovations, ignoring our concerns and leaving us open to fire.

    In spite of getting a legal decision in their favour and compensation for the damages incurred, the toll was immeasurable and created many unpleasant memories. They were forced to sell their cherished home, we mourned the loss of our award winning sanctuary, another casualty of government negligence and dangerous building practices. The lack of proper oversight and governance by local government created the environment for this tragedy to unfold, highlighting the need for greater accountability and legal protection for homeowners.

    As we grapple with the effects of this trial, we are left to consider: What help do homeowners have when their greatest financial investment are threatened by the negligence of dodgy construction companies? {https://www.facebook.com/groups/1240633520160302, Construction
