Building Defect Inspections

At MidCoast Building Inspections we can provide you with a comprehensive Building Inspection report on your property to determine its current and general condition, create defect lists and advice on HOW (Home Ownership Warranty) issues that your Builder needs to address.

In the weeks , months after handover and once you have moved into your home or building, your property will start to settle and there may be some movement (settlement) occurring. This is very common and generally there is no cause to be alarmed. However there may be some defects that may surface that are of a serious concern that may not have been visible at practical completion.

MidCoast Building Inspections will undertake a series of inspections at 3 Months, 6 months and 12 Months compiling a list of items requiring immediate attention and those that require monitoring.

The home owner can then present their list of items to their Builder for rectification prior to the completion of the defects liability period. After the completion of this period your Builder will have no interest in the rectification of minor items and Major items will need to go through a Home Warranty Claim.
