This specialized inspection is designed to protect homeowners by identifying defects in newly constructed properties before warranty periods expire. It is common for natural building materials to move and settle, causing minor hairline cracking in walls, ceilings, cornices, or tiles. This service helps distinguish expected minor settling from significant defects that require immediate builder rectification. The inspector utilizes detailed checklists to produce a comprehensive report focusing on both structural and non-structural defects. This allows homeowners to hold their building contractor accountable within the statutory warranty periods, which typically cover structural defects for up to six years and three months, and non-structural defects for twelve months. It is highly recommended to schedule this inspection eleven months after handover to address non-structural issues before the twelve-month warranty limit. The resulting digital PDF report is delivered within twenty-four hours and includes high-resolution photos to support formal rectification claims.
