Fletcher is a victim of the Beechwood Homes collapse, having paid $405,000 outright for a home that was never delivered.
The company went into liquidation in May, leaving behind $30 million in debt and multiple unfinished projects.
Works on Fletcher’s new six-bedroom home never began, leaving her with a vacant block at Muswellbrook in the NSW Hunter Region.
“I feel because it (was) such a well-known company, it didn’t raise any concerns or red flags,” she said.
Fletcher says the insurance was never processed for the build, which was due for completion in October 2025.
Vic Cavasinni operated Beechwood Homes for more than 18 years after saving the company from collapse in 2008.
Fletcher says she received a letter from Cavasinni in February stating he did not understand how the upfront payment was accepted, and that it had been “approved by a team member (who) no longer works for [the company]“.
The director also offered Fletcher a partial refund, but she says he never followed through.
Fletcher says she has been forced to sell her current home and when the sale settles in nine months, they will have nowhere to go.
“I’ve looked into rentals, I can’t afford a rental big enough for my family,” she said.
