Aoife Beary from Dublin has told a State Assembly hearing in California that the industry needs greater transparency.
The 22-year-old was seriously injured in Berkeley last summer, on a balcony built by a firm with a poor safety record.
Six of Aoife's friends died in the tragedy and she thinks the accident could have been prevented if builder's previous failings had been made public.
