Builder complaints The Office of Fair Trading said it received more than 140 complaints last year compared to an annual average of 35 in the five years prior. Ms Corbin said she had done a few checks of Mr Edard's business but did not go any further because the construction of tiny homes in Queensland was not a regulated activity. 'Bloody heartbreaking ' Jess Hanson from the central-west Queensland town of Tambo said trying to recoup the more than $90,000 she and her employer paid to Mr Edards had been "bloody heartbreaking". Master Builders Queensland advocacy manager Ian Grant said the organisation would like to see greater communication between the Queensland Building and Construction Commission, police, and fair trading.
