Defects Checklist
Is Your Building Protected?
Building defects can be complex, costly and time sensitive. This checklist is designed to help strata committees and owners corporations identify potential risks, ask the right questions and take the first steps towards protecting their building and investment.
Why Early Action Matters
Building defects can affect safety, compliance, resident satisfaction and long term asset value. While some issues are easy to identify, others may remain hidden until they become disruptive and expensive to resolve.
Our Building Defects Checklist has been developed to help strata committees recognise common risks and better understand when further investigation or specialist advice may be required.
Quick Guidance
This checklist is intended as a general guide only and should not be relied upon as technical, building or legal advice. It is not designed to assess the severity of a defect. One significant safety, structural, waterproofing or fire compliance issue may require prompt advice even if no other issues are present. If there is any uncertainty, committees should seek appropriate professional advice before deciding on next steps.
Next Step
If you have selected one or more of these items on the checklist, submit the form to request a consultation. Our experienced team will review your enquiry and be in touch to discuss your building concerns and how we may be able to assist.
