The Property Inspectors Reports

Commercial Defects Report (At Completion of works) 1-10 defects

If you’re building a new project or renovating an existing project, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the paperwork and level of technical detail required to keep it on track during and post construction.

Q: Do you know what you are paying for?

Q: Does the construction meet building code?

Q: Are you paying for works that haven’t been completed?

Our general-purpose building defect reports can reduce the risk and put you back in control of your building project.

General-Purpose Building Defect Reports

• A general-purpose building defect report covers minor, major & non-compliance matters within the built form.

 

• It is most common for the consumer to engage a consultant to assess recently completed building works or a project close to the warranty expiry date in order for the consumer to be aware of any current and possible future defects in order to limit current or future liabilities and hold the building contractor accountable for their work at handover stage or prior to paying the building contractor his final payment.

 

• Our office frequently undertakes the task of conducting comprehensive building defect reports for various projects, whether they involve new multi dwelling developments, commercial, industrial new builds or renovation work.

 

• It is common for our inspectors to inspect and report on defects within a newly built project that can range from 10 – 50 defects, and in the current marketplace it is becoming more common that we find up to 200 defects per renovation or new build.

 

• Before engaging The Property Inspectors, we strongly advise you to thoroughly review our complete fee page. This page provides a detailed overview of the various types of reports we offer, along with the quantity of defects covered within each report, all of which are subject to their applicable fee.

 

• It is quite common for our services to initially be engaged for projects with an estimated 20 to 40 defects per report. However, it often occurs that these projects expand, and our reports end up documenting as many as 200 defects. This is especially the case when property owners desire a comprehensive report that encompasses all identified defects. Therefore, we recommend considering a defect report that covers a broader range of potential defects within the property. Our fee structure proves to be more cost-effective for larger reports compared to choosing an option with fewer defects included, especially if more defects are discovered during the inspection than initially anticipated.

 

• It’s essential to understand that all our reports are produced based on the defects observed during our fieldworker’s on-site inspection and data collection process, which we have no idea of the quantity of defects within your property until our fieldworker arrives on site and completes their thorough site assessment. This remains consistent regardless of the quantity of defects outlined within the initial work order. Any additional defects beyond the originally specified quantity will be billed as a variation to the contract or work order.

 

• In cases where the final report exceeds the number of defects initially outlined in the work order, the additional defects will be charged on a pro-rata basis, using the specified quantity of defects and their corresponding sums as originally outlined in the work order.
