What to do if your builder never returns from his lunch break

Assisted by Holly Pitt

Kameleon Homes is a building company that has recently been in the news for all the wrong reasons, leaving both disgruntled homeowners and contractors in the lurch after jobs have been uncompleted after payment and debts left unsettled.

Kameleon, for the time being, is more of a 'chameleon' than anything else. Nowhere to be seen and with its website and Facebook page taken down, the best the victims can hope for is for the Building Commission to recognise the problem and warn the public.

So what steps can you take if you are unfortunate enough to be left with an unfinished building job?

Well don't chew your fingernails down to the quick for starters. There is plenty to be done.
