Building Defect Report, what is it & what to expect.

What Is a Building Defect Report?

A Building Defect Report is a detailed inspection that identifies problems with the structure, workmanship, or safety of a building. Think cracks in walls, water damage, uneven floors, dodgy tiling, or anything that looks or feels off.

We assess the site thoroughly and give you a clear, photo-filled report outlining exactly what’s wrong, how serious it is, and what should be done next.

Who is a Building Defect Report For?

  • Homeowners noticing issues like cracks, leaks or movement

  • Renovators wanting a second opinion on workmanship

  • New home buyers or builders looking to confirm defects for warranty claims

  • Property investors checking on the quality of a build or repair

  • Tenants or landlords dealing with rental disputes or maintenance issues

Basically, if something’s not right – and you want proof – this is for you.
