VCAT Building Defect Reports

WHAT INFORMATION CAN OUR PROFESSIONAL BUILDING INSPECTIONS AND BUILDING DEFECT REPORTS EXPOSE?

We identify building defects that are the result of sub-standard work or expertise, poor quality or aged building materials used at the time of construction, outdated building practices at the time of construction (before building codes were revised), or defects caused by typical soil movements.

We can identify new buildings that do not comply with the current Australian Building Codes Standards and Regulations.

We can identify older buildings that no longer comply with current standards, and must be judged against the standard at the time of construction or renovations.

We locate the cause of cracked, damaged, or deteriorated brick work, concrete, tiles, cladding, roofing components, plumbing, fittings, fireplaces, stumps and foundations.

We identify faulty or inadequate termite protection, damp proofing or leaks, water damage (excessive sagging to roofs and ceilings), salt deterioration, unsatisfactory drainage, poor framework and miscellaneous structural damage.

We assess areas that normally wouldn’t be accessible for a typical home owner (within a roof space, subfloor, or wall space).

WHY CHOOSE JUBB Design & Build TO BE YOUR EXPERT WITNESS IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION?

Our building defect reports can assist with VCAT repairs to resolve building disputes.

We provide accurate information on building defects, and include photographic evidence of the defects in all of our compliance reports, making them suitable to VCAT standards.

We can address concerns from neighbouring property owners, who may be worried their property is at risk from nearby construction work, or their privacy may be affected by building height and overshadowing.

We have a strong attention to detail, and know exactly what to look for, given our years of experience in the building industry as a registered domestic and commercial builder.

We have several years experience of writing building reports to VCAT standards, to resolve defective building works and building disputes.

If required, we can provide cost-effective remedial works to correct the defective works or construction materials.
