Owner Builder Defects Report (Section 137B Report)
Description
The Owner Builder Defects Report, commonly known as a Section 137B Report, is a mandatory requirement for owner-builders in Victoria looking to sell their property within the statutory warranty period. Ausgun Building Inspections offers comprehensive Section 137B inspections conducted by highly qualified professionals with Unlimited Builder’s Licenses, civil engineering backgrounds, and over 17 years of hands-on industry experience. Having inspected over $861 million worth of property across Melbourne and regional Victoria, our team meticulously assesses your property to identify any building defects, incomplete work, or areas that do not comply with current building standards. To ensure a highly accurate evaluation of the home's structural integrity and workmanship, we utilize an array of advanced diagnostic equipment. This includes cutting-edge thermal imaging that combines undiluted thermal pictures with visible light features to instantly detect hidden issues. We also use the ME5 Moisture Encounter for non-invasive moisture testing across drywall, wood, plaster, brick, ceramic tiles, flooring, laminates, and roofing, providing accurate results without damage. Furthermore, laser leveling is applied to provide precise measurements, detecting misalignments, uneven surfaces, or shifting foundations. This detailed and reliable report provides prospective buyers with full transparency, fulfills your legal obligations as a vendor, and facilitates a smoother, more confident sale process.
