Another two construction companies have collapsed as the latest casualities of the nation’s building industry crisis, leaving dozens of homes unfinished.

Perth=based construction firm Western Luxury Homes Pty Ltd was placed into liquidation on Friday, according to a notice published by ASIC. 

This announcement came days after boutique builder Royal Construction and Design went into liquidation on August 8.

Clients are being urged to contact their home indemnity insurance provider, QBE Insurance, following the shock collapse.

‘This enables homeowners to begin the process of engaging another registered builder to complete the work or managing other remedies they may be entitled to,’ Building and Energy executive director Saj Abdoolakhan said.

Subcontractors also affected should contact RSM Australia directly. 

The failing business has now been handed over to RSM liquidators Travis Kukura and Jerome Hall Mohen who will take charge of finding a solution to the company’s financial woes. 

Both firms join the ranks of other failed building companies including, Slatter Group, WA Housing Group, Flexible Homes, Individual Developments, Hamlen Homes and City Residence.
