Building Dispute Practitioners Society Defects are measured against the approved drawings and engineering, the NCC, the QBCC Standards and Tolerances Guide and the relevant Australian Standard.
24 checkpoints across 8 areas on a standard Greenbank defect investigation report. We get on site when you have safe access to the land and the structure, and a builder knows an inspector is coming. We can only inspect areas we can access safely and clearly.
The report is written for you and your builder. If you need to go to QCAT, the tribunal requires an expert witness report prepared under QCAT Procedural Direction 3, which we supply as a separate document.
