View service coverage

The 137B Owner Builder Defect Report is a mandatory requirement in Victoria for owner-builders who wish to sell their property within six and a half years of completing domestic building work. This specialized inspection identifies any defects, incomplete works, or second-hand materials used during the construction process, ensuring full compliance with Section 137B of the Building Act 1993. Our qualified professional inspectors conduct a comprehensive assessment of the owner-built works, examining all structural and non-structural elements. We look at major components and systems to provide you with a detailed, same-day report that includes clear pictures, videos, and thermal imaging where necessary. This report is essential for obtaining owner-builder warranty insurance, which protects future buyers and facilitates a smooth property transaction. By delivering an accurate and legally compliant document, we help you meet your statutory obligations and provide peace of mind to all parties involved in the sale.
