Further Assessment

Builder Issue List

Prepare a clear list of issues for your builder.

Our building defect warranty inspection Melbourne service assesses accessible areas for visible construction defects, deterioration and workmanship concerns.

Areas we inspect include:

Alignment problems, damaged fittings and visible gaps.

Structural indicators

Observable movement, cracking and other warning signs.
Thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters may be used where appropriate to investigate suspected moisture concerns.
A building defect inspection is generally visual and non-invasive. Concealed defects and specialist electrical, plumbing or HVAC testing require separate assessment where necessary.

When Should You Book a Defects Warranty Inspection?

The right timing depends on your handover date, the defects you’ve noticed and any applicable notification deadlines.

After Handover

If cracks, leaks or workmanship problems appear after moving in, an inspection can help document their condition.

Before Warranty Deadlines
