Another Victorian construction company collapses
An award-winning Victorian construction company has become one of the latest casualties of the construction industry crisis.
Melbourne-based residential builder Kleev Homes Pty Ltd has been “wound up”, with Travis Pullen appointed as liquidator to dissolve the company.
The decision to end the company was made at a general meeting of its members on July 5, according to a notice published by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
Kleev Homes’ website has since disappeared, as have its profiles on social media.
The company, which had been running since 2006, was based in Beaconsfield Upper in Melbourne’s south-east and advertised itself as specialising in “complex, architecturally-designed new residences and renovations/additions” throughout Victoria.
Kleev Homes received a number of awards for its work, including Young Master Builder of the Year, MBAV Best Custom Home $800,000–$1,000,000 and HIA South East Victoria Best Custom Home $500,000–$1,000,000 in 2011.
Kleev Homes has followed the path of dozens of other builders to have collapsed in 2023, including Porter Davis, Probuild and A1A Homes.
A total of 2023 Australian building companies have gone into liquidation since mid-2021, according to data from the Australian Security and Investments Commission.
Liquidator Travis Pullen has been contacted for comment.
