In October 2017, the South Australian consumer watchdog stripped the licence of builder, Fenbreeze Homes over allegations of impropriety. The Indian origin director of Fenbreeze Homes Joseph Biju Kavilpurayidathil was providing fake building indemnity insurance certificates to clients. The consumer watchdog also received numerous complaints from the Company’s clients of non-completion of building work after taking money or not completing the work in reasonable time. Atleast 50 home owners are affected by the collapse of the company. Most of the incomplete homes are located in the North Eastern suburbs of Adelaide.

Those who received false building indemnity insurance certificates will not be covered in the event that work on a property ceases or turns out to be substandard. Building indemnity insurance is designed to protect homeowners when work has not been completed in the event the builder dies, disappears or becomes insolvent.  As per the Building Work Contractors Act 1995, South Australian builders are supposed to take out building indemnity insurance policy on all domestic construction projects that require development approval and above the value of $12000.

Fenbreeze Homes Pty Ltd was incorporated on 31^st January 2014 with the registered office address at 9 Longford Cresent, Ferryden Park, South Australia by Joseph Biju Kavilpurayidathil as director of the company.  Joseph Biju hails from Kerala state in India. He attributed the failure of the Company to tough economic conditions which resulted in the Company having to underquote on projects by reducing margins to unprofitable levels to win work and maintain cash flow.  The liquidator estimates the company to have a liability of around $1.25Million after deducting the value of the assets which is under $7000.
