New properties and project homes can contain significant problems, poor workmanship, or incomplete items of work. All new properties have at least some minor defects or incomplete items of work at settlement. These issues need to be identified and documented before purchase, before handover, or preferably pre-settlement (prior to the builder receiving final payments). This provides a level of ‘security’ if problems are present. The builder can then rectify the issues before you move in – you may decide to not proceed with the sale depending on the nature of the defects and the Builder’s attitude towards rectification. Based on experience we find that most builders are responsible professionals and are happy to fix things where problems arise. Having a professional building defect report helps incentivise good building practices. The reports also give the owner some peace of mind at the end of the construction process. In addition to identifying defects, poor workmanship, or incomplete items, our building consultants will also recommend a list of documentation that should be obtained (where relevant) such as building approvals and certificates. These should be obtained from the builder or owner before purchase or handover.
