Description
An End of 6 – Year Warranty Period inspection occurs around 5 years after Practical Completion and is designed to take place during the builder’s 6-year warranty period. This aligns with the statutory defect liability period for structural defects.
This inspection identifies defects, especially structural, that might have emerged over time due to faulty construction, materials, or design. It encompasses all faulty and defective work to all building elements including roof leaks, water ingress and ceramic tiling. If defects are identified, the builder may be required to carry out remedial work to rectify these issues at no cost to the property owner. If the builder fails to address the defect, the owner may seek resolution through dispute resolution mechanisms or legal channels.
