Ducon

I also own a unit in the same property as another reviewer "JC" below that was built by Ducon. I can vouch that what JC has written is all factual.
We still have existing issues, including lack of proper waterproofing in the bathroom/shower and also the balcony causing leaks and water damage that require a very significant expense to fix. None of this was addressed and Ducon was not contactable. Looks like its a consistent experience from other customers.

A little disappointing to see that they have resurfaced and are still not taking any responsibility to fix the issues. My advice to anyone would be to avoid doing business with these folks.

This company apparently went into liquidation in the last 18 months. There has been things which the builder is responsible fixing but have decided to use this loop hole to get away.

I still have outstanding structural leak issues which this company refuses to fix. Please stay away from this company…

*Update 23/06/2022* - I’m adding more details to this post below in response to the owner’s comment below. I have since spoken to Amber from Ducon who has also confirmed that Ducon Constructions did go into liquidation in 2015 and is unlikely to be able to do anything about this. Please note that this original post was created in 2017 and the facts below are 100% correct.

We live in a multi-residential complex built by Ducon in 2011. We had a range of structural issues which were temporarily rectified by Ducon in the first 12 months and subsequently a few years later. Unfortunately, a few of the issues relapsed in approximately 2017 or 2018 as a ‘Band-Aid’ solution was applied. When we pursued Ducon in 2017 to fulfil their obligations, we were informed that Ducon Constructions had gone into bankruptcy in 2015 and hence unable to fulfil their structural warranty obligations…

Whether this is now called Ducon Building Solutions or Ducon Constructions prior, it is still the same branding, same office location, same website, and the same Managing Director (Peter Mason) who is still running the business since 2003 according to LinkedIn.

I can provide copies of email correspondence and documentations to prove that this is indeed from Ducon.

As of 23/06/2022, we are still trying fix this out of our own pocket. There has been a lot of investigations and lengthy process of eliminations and fixes involving other owners affected by this issue. Obviously Covid lockdowns has also delayed our ability to investigate and fix this…

Got stuck next to their car that was blasting pro Trump, right wing speakers. Don't know why that's necessary from a building firm

Great place to work.awesome team of knowledgeable experts keen to work collaboratively to exceed expectations and focus on continuous improvement. Great communication approach & support during COVID-19. Fun times!

Always a pleasure dealing with the Ducon team, friendly, knowledgeable, and deliver on promises!

Driver of YEW455 should do a Safety drive course.
It has no idea.
Not good advertising.

A great company that goes above and beyond to satisfy its clients, highly recommend Ducon Building Solutions to all.

Servive and construction was terrible. Ducon did a terrible job with construction of the townhouse with multiple leaks due to waterproofing issues, cracked tiles and even issues with the roof. When we went to Ducon regarding the construction, Daniel, who we spoke to, was extremely rude and unwilling to help. I don't know why they would keep an incompetent person like Daniel in the company. No wonder why their construction side of the business went bankrupt.

Very professional team and a joy to work with, very organised and efficient. We highly recommend them.

Un-professional company.
We sought a quote from Ducon and had a lengthy on site visit by project manager Tom Robertson.

After 1 month waiting for the quote, nothing. 6 weeks still nothing.
We emailed then phoned and SMS'd Tom and never got 1 reply.
We then contacted Ducon head office in Clayton and still no returned emails or calls.

If they didn't want to supply a quote, thats fine, but have the decency to tell the client. But then to dodge and ignore your enquires, tells you what sort of company this is.

Don't waste your precious time with this unprofessional company.
