Embattled home builder Bathla Group has been placed into voluntary administration, leaving customers in limbo amid what the company describes as a "perfect storm" of circumstances.

The company joins a long list of Australian residential builders and property developers that have entered voluntary administration or liquidation due to soaring material costs, labour shortages and fixed-price contracts.

Founder and director Bhart Bhushan described the move as an "orderly restructure of business."

"Our first thoughts are with our employees and the customers who have put their faith in us to deliver their dream of home ownership," Bhushan said in a statement on Tuesday.

"It is my sincere hope this process can allow that to happen by working collaboratively with the administrators, our suppliers, contractors and lending partners."

In a statement posted on the Bathla website, Bhushan said the decision had been taken in the best interests of all stakeholders, to provide the most feasible opportunity to continue delivering much-needed housing in western Sydney and other key markets.

Bhushan said the group had confronted a "perfect storm of circumstances" that contributed to its struggles. These include a significant softening in sales, impacts from changes made in the federal government's May budget, and falling confidence in key markets. He also cited significant increases in construction costs absorbed by the company.

Documents filed with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission state that Teneo has been appointed as administrator of the company and its related entities.

According to the Bathla website, the family-owned company was established in New South Wales in 1997. It had since expanded into regional New South Wales, South Australia, and most recently Victoria.

In the 2025-26 financial year, 1,522 construction firms have collapsed in New South Wales, including Bathla Group, Beechwood Homes, Novati Constructions, and Built Lifestyles.
