THE state's construction watchdog has ordered serial building industry shonk Daniel Roberts and his associates to stop work immediately on a Lake Macquarie development due to "serious structural defects" and safety concerns.
In an escalation of pressure against the rogue operator, the Building Commission NSW last week ordered Sustainable Homes Australia R & D, also known as S.H.A.R.D, to stop work at Mount Hutton, and issued SD Portfolio Holdings an order preventing it from issuing occupation certificates to buyers of apartments at 14-17 Herd Street.
