Following the appointment of liquidators to two residential builders, Building and Energy is advising affected homeowners to discuss home indemnity insurance arrangements with QBE.
Liquidators were appointed to building contractors Inka Builders Pty Ltd (BC103849), trading as Inka Developments, and Mercedes Group Pty Ltd (BC9497), trading as Zorzi Builders and Grandwood Homes, on 20 June 2025.
Building Commissioner Peter Stewart said affected homeowners with incomplete or defective building work by either company 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.”
It is understood Inka Builders has around 40 projects in progress with home indemnity insurance implications. Mercedes Group has around 16.
Subcontractors affected by the liquidation of Inka Builders or Mercedes Group should contact the appointed liquidator, Cameron Shaw of Hall Chadwick, via 6557 6200 or inka@hallchadwick.com.au or mercedes@hallchadwick.com.au.
