The state’s departing construction tsar David Chandler says buyers now have unprecedented powers at their disposal before purchasing a property.

Departing Building Commissioner David Chandler believes his successor will be able to “weed out” and rescind the building licenses of the state’s riskiest developers, but has urged consumers to use the unprecedented powers given to them before purchasing a property.

Chandler said the next building commissioner would be able to build on his tenure, but would face a “very different frontier” than the “real arm-wrestle” he confronted with “the worst players that the industry has seen”.that up to 20 per cent of property developers in NSW were “risky”, Chandler said the Building Commission was using numerous data inputs to profile developers and detect potential “red flags”.

“It’s now about how we do business better. But the final message has got to be for new consumers: you have these new powers, you have the iCIRT build star rating tools, you have 10-year warranty insurance,” he said. Despite previously reneging on his resignation in 2022, Chandler said the circumstances surrounding his departure this time were different, as he vowed to the public to not serve on the board of a developer or builder.
