NSW Fair Trading Commissioner Rose Webb has warned consumers not to deal with unlicensed builder Tevita Tiliti Ungounga.
Ms Webb said NSW Fair Trading has received complaints that Mr Ungounga demands cash up front to undertake major residential building works, concreting or structural landscaping, and leaves work unfinished.
"There are also concerns that work done by Mr Ungounga may be structurally unsafe," Ms Webb said.
"He may be seeking work in metropolitan Sydney including the Kellyville and Castle Hill areas."
Mr Ungounga has never held a contractor licence authorising him to do residential building work. He has previously contracted using T.T. Construction (an unregistered business name) and T & T Sandstone Construction Pty Ltd (a deregistered company).
NSW Fair Trading issued a previous public warning about Mr Ungounga in October 2018 after a court ordered him to pay more than $56,000 in fines and costs for doing residential building work he was not authorised to do. This included building a new home for $350,000.
Anyone who has had problems in their dealings in NSW with Mr Ungounga or has information about his activities should contact NSW Fair Trading on 13 32 20 to lodge a complaint.
