If you really want to see how smart they are talk to your mate about telling them he'll make a written complaint, along with photo's of the problems, to the Building Commission. Most builders with any self respect would be more inclined to listen to what you have to say and come to some form of agreement rather than go through the rigours of being investigated, and potentially prosecuted/deregistered by the Commission for failing to meet requirements under the Building Act/Regulations. Builders are licensed for a reason, and just like vehicle licenses, the right to hold one can be tested and penalties applied if need be for failing to meet conditions of the license.
