Building Warranty (Defect) Inspection in South Hurstville, NSW
Residential Properties • Commercial Properties • Servicing Greater South Hurstville Metropolitan area
Wen from iSPECT Building Inspections South Hurstville understands the excitement of building a new home can turn into disappointment when you later identify defects. It is commonplace for natural building materials to shift as a home settles over time — a drying frame may warp causing minor hairline cracking in attached wall and ceiling sheeting, and slab settlement may cause minor cracking in tiles. Wen is familiar with what's minor and to be expected, and can explain findings in context so you'll be less alarmed.
Wen from iSPECT Building Inspections South Hurstville can help you ensure you are protected by completing a Building Warranty Inspection in South Hurstville. Wen will conduct the inspection with focus on detail, using comprehensive checklists to produce a thorough report identifying defects so you can have the building contractor rectify defective work within the warranty period. Call (02) 7201 7583 or SMS 0428 273 563 to book your warranty inspection.
Warranty Timeframes in NSW — Wen Explains Your Rights
Wen's warranty inspection specifically looks for changes and defects that allow you to hold your builder accountable:
Structural defective work
Must be identified within 6 years and 3 months of the building work being completed
Must be identified within 6 years and 3 months of the building work being completed
Non-structural defective work
Must be identified within 12 months of the building work being completed
Must be identified within 12 months of the building work being completed
Important: Following the inspection you must lodge a formal complaint with your local State regulatory authority as soon as possible, but no later than within 12 months of becoming aware of the defects. It is imperative to schedule your iSPECT Warranty Inspection as a follow-up 11 months after your Building Handover Inspection to meet the 12-month non-structural building defects warranty period.
What is 'Defective' or 'Non-Structural' Building Work?
According to Rectification of Building Work guidelines, defective building work means building work that is faulty or unsatisfactory which:
Does not comply with the Building Act, Building Code of Australia, or an applicable Australian Standard
Involves the use of a manufactured product installed in a way that does not comply with the manufacturer's instructions
Non-structural defective building work means defective building work (other than structural) that is faulty or unsatisfactory because:
It doesn't meet a reasonable standard of construction or finish expected of a competent contractor
It has caused a settling-period defect such that the work does not perform at a standard reasonably expected of a competent contractor
