Broadhurst Civil

Stay away

Went AWOL after deposit was paid.

Still dealing with his poor Workmanship. Cost me tens of thousands on top to fix his work.

I strongly advise against engaging Broadhurst Civil Pty Ltd based on my experience.

In 2023, the company constructed a concrete retaining wall at the rear of our property at a cost of $23,000. The project was significantly delayed, with multiple changes to scheduled dates. The contractor requested payment prior to completion, which I declined.

Although the wall was eventually completed and covered by a 6.5-year warranty, serious structural issues have now emerged just two years later. The retaining wall—supporting a fence—is visibly leaning and appears to be on the verge of collapsing into the neighbouring property.

Since February 5, 2025, I have made over a dozen attempts to resolve this, including sending numerous emails with photos, making more than fifteen phone calls, and even meeting with Joel from the company, who acknowledged the issue and advised urgent repairs were necessary. Despite this, no remedial work has been undertaken.

Given the lack of action or resolution, I am now considering legal proceedings as the only viable course of action.

Very poorly built sandstone steps. Unsafe, uneven filled with significant amount morter between steps. No base for steps to be built on. Retaining walls have half blocks in various places. One end sandstone block mounted onto railway sleeper that’s laying in the garden. Building materials dumped on property. Property damage (shed) + drain pipes. Too much more to add.
