Truganina Builder Under Fire Over Unsafe Homes

VBA steps in over builder complaints

A Truganina-based building company is under investigation after serious allegations of unsafe and defective work on homes across Melbourne’s west — including several in Tarneit.

The Victorian Building Authority (VBA) confirms it is investigating Baba Building Group and associated entities, including Windsor Homes, over breaches of building permits, non-compliant construction, and helping families move into unfinished homes that may pose safety risks.

According to ASIC records, the business is run by sole director Dheeraj Sandala.

The VBA has ordered the builder and several plumbers to return to sites in Truganina, Tarneit, Clayton and Officer to rectify non-compliant work. Immediate safety concerns have already been addressed.

Baba Building Group promotes itself as a boutique home builder servicing metropolitan Melbourne. But the VBA says it has received a range of serious allegations that may trigger enforcement action.

“If these claims are substantiated the VBA won’t hesitate to use its full suite of powers to hold those responsible to account,” a spokesperson said.

The investigation is ongoing.
