Platinum Homes

PHOTO: Dan Quinn’s Whitemans Valley remains uncompleted two years after construction began due to Mass Construction going into liquidation.

The Quinn family is about to spend its third Christmas waiting for a new house which shows no sign of being completed by builders.

Dan Quinn said there may be more than 20 clients whose houses were under construction when building firm Mass Construction NZ went into liquidation in August.

Mass held the Platinum Homes franchise for the greater Wellington region, and the master franchisee promised to do what it could to finish the house.

But Quinn, who is also a builder, says his family of eight from Upper Hutt have been waiting for two years in a damp house for their new home. He says some of his children have been getting sick, but no work has been done on the site since February.
