William Stopforth, trading as Phoenix Building Contractors, was also fined $3500 for his malpractice when he fronted the Building Services Board this month.
Between April and July 2013, Stopforth left a roof frame unsupported in a Wanneroo home when he removed supporting walls in the property’s kitchen.

“The action taken sends a clear message to registered builders who fail to maintain proper standards or act inappropriately that the privilege of registration can be withdrawn or significantly limited,” he said.
