Builders say Kyle Sandilands owes $240,000 for mansion works

The builders claim Sandilands owes $240,000 on bathroom, kitchen and laundry work, which he disputes.

On October 1, the owners of Alter Build Co started a civil court case against Kyle Sandilands. Alter Build Co claims Sandilands owes $240,000 for bathroom, kitchen and laundry work at his Glenorie estate.

Sandilands says the builders blew his $1 million budget and that he has paid about $1.6 million. Alter Build Co says he failed to pay within the terms of the alleged payment schedule.

Sandilands says he asked for the full payment schedule, and the builders did not provide it. A co-owner of Alter Build Co declined to comment, saying they will let the court system play out.

Sandilands says he has no issue with the builders, and his lawyers return to court on October 23.

Why it mattersThe court will decide who pays, which matters to anyone hiring a builder for a big job.
