Box gutters discharging into other box gutters, sumps and overflows that were never sized for the roof above them, balcony outlets too small for the area they drain, and balustrades simply not installed where there is a fall. We also check that stormwater is clear and that the shower area has the correct lighting.

We aim to issue the report about two weeks before the handover inspection. Wait too long and the builder loses the chance to fix issues, turning a simple list of defects into a costly dispute.
Yes. The final report lists every task as complete, partial or outstanding so you can take it to the handover inspection.
Roof plumbing in this area relies heavily on box gutters, which must have proper fall, sumps, and overflow systems to function correctly. If the three main areas are not correct, water ends up in the roof rather than just on a wall.
A solicitor is the best person to advise on this, as the details will depend on what your contract states. We provide a detailed written record of any problems, supported by dated photos to show the full extent of the damage.
A large number of defects can occur during construction. These are normal and do not automatically mean the builder is at fault. We look at the structural issues separately from cosmetic ones in the report.
We list every specific clause, tolerance or rule that is not met, which puts the focus on the actual requirements. Where it cannot be resolved, the dispute process under the Queensland Building and Construction Commission Act 1991 is the next step.
