Building Warranty (Defect) Inspection
Estimated arrival time: Within 24 hours
Description
The building warranty defect inspection is designed for owners of newly constructed residential and commercial properties seeking to identify defects within applicable statutory warranty periods. Completed in accordance with Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007, the inspection systematically assesses building work to highlight items requiring builder rectification. The assessment uses comprehensive checklists to detect changes, movement, structural defects covered within 6 years and 3 months, and non-structural defects covered within 12 months of completion. Common issues inspected include hairline cracking in attached walls, ceiling sheeting, cornices, and tile cracking from slab settlement, alongside non-compliant installation of manufactured products. Clients receive a digital PDF report within 24 hours complete with high-resolution colour photographs detailing each defect. This report can be submitted to the builder or state regulatory authority to facilitate formal rectification claims.
