Building a new house is often one of the biggest events of your life. However, newly-built properties, despite being brand new, can have many hidden defects due to unauthorised usage of inferior materials, poor supervision and workmanship, as well as human oversight. Many of these defects may seem to be trivial at first, however, they may evolve into major defects that seriously affect the longevity of your new home down the track. Engage us to inspect your new build at each stage of the construction to ensure the quality of the entire construction and avoid spending large sum of money only to live in a poorly built home.
