Common building defects in Greenbank QLD
Across our Greenbank inspections the findings fall into four groups. A slab inspection checks the cover, reinforcement bars and mesh at steps and beams. At frame stages, connections or hangers that do not match the engineering drawings. Connections between services that are in contact with the frame or touching each other. We inspect handover details like weep holes and movement. The final inspection checklist covers the most items, but the concrete and framing checks are where you cannot go back.

Slab
Timber framing showing signs of sagging, exposed subfloor, and inadequate reinforcement on stair stringers.
Frame
We check beam and column connections, undersized joist hangers and missing tie downs. We also look for one sided lamination and slack bracing.
Lock-up
Hot water pipes near cables, gas lines on metal, ceiling ducts and short head flashings.
Waterproofing repairs
Waterproofing issues such as puddle flanges too high, pinholes, or joints covered in render. Also, balcony drains might be undersized or not connected properly.
Handover
Rooftop ventilation openings are missing or spaced too widely, gaps around joins are filled with render, balcony tiles are fixed in isolated spots, and water barriers or fall protection devices are absent.
