Non Residential Buildings Group
Back to Focus Groups Overview
A place for all affected property owners to come together to forge a pathway forward in getting help to restore properties that are not included in any redress/grant scheme.
This group is for non residential, second or holiday home, commercial property owners and also leaders/managers/committees/principals and staff of all community centres, creches, youth facilities, nursing homes etc. to come together to forge a viable pathway forward for the rebuild and continued safe running of these essential buildings and services.
We will be focusing on getting redress and creating awareness around buildings with defective concrete other than residential homes e.g. Second homes, holiday homes, commercial, private, public service, clubs, office buildings, sheds, walls, septic tanks etc.
It shouldn’t matter what the building is, if it was built with defective materials it should be included in any scheme being delivered by the government to bring what was paid for back to full value.
