Description

iSPECT Building Inspections conducts building warranty defect inspections for recently constructed or newly purchased properties. As new buildings settle, minor structural shifts, hairline cracking in walls or cornices, and slab movement can occur. This inspection helps homeowners identify defects before statutory builder warranty periods expire. Inspections are carried out in accordance with Australian Standard AS 4349.1-2007. Using detailed checklists, the inspector distinguishes between expected minor settlement and faulty construction work that requires formal rectification under statutory warranty periods, such as 6-year structural and 12-month non-structural warranties. A digital PDF report featuring high-resolution colour photographs is issued within 24 hours. Property owners are recommended to schedule this inspection approximately 11 months post-handover to meet statutory non-structural warranty submission deadlines.
