Qld: Be careful - BSA warns building firm's customers

BRISBANE, Feb 18 AAP - Queensland's building industry regulator has issued a warning
to lenders, contractors and customers dealing with a Sunshine Coast building company closely
linked to a firm that collapsed earlier this month.

Building Services Authority (BSA) chief Ian Jennings today urged anyone dealing with
Integra Developments Pty Ltd, which shared office space and staff with failed construction
firm Real Property Constructions (RPC), to be cautious.

"BSA warns all persons dealing with Integra Developments Pty Ltd to exercise extreme
caution and seek legal advice to protect their interests," Mr Jennings said.

Integra's director Lesley Enever is the partner of Dennis Musca, who ran RPC before
the company collapsed earlier this month leaving 233 homes unfinished in Brisbane, Maryborough,
Hervey Bay and on the Sunshine Coast.

Mr Musca is now facing a permanent ban from the building industry.

Ms Enever also is a former director of RPC and the two firms shared office space, key
employees, systems and accountants, Mr Jennings said.

"Integra Developments Pty Ltd is also involved with some of the same marketing and
investment companies which Real Property Constructions Pty Ltd was involved with before
its collapse," he said.

Mr Jennings said some consumers who had contracts with RPC had reported that Integra
staff had contacted them regarding completion of their homes.
