Settling a structural dispute with the drawing
In Point Cook the argument usually ends at the engineering.
In short: A bolt is either where the drawing put it or it is not.
Why structural disputes differ
Finish disputes turn on tolerances and viewing conditions. Structural ones turn on a drawing, which is far less arguable.
What we compare
The engineering issued for your lot against what was actually built.
The findings that recur
Tie-down bolts, beam connections and bracing, all nominated and all checkable.
What the report gives you
The specific item, the drawing reference, and what was found instead.
If it escalates
The defect report becomes the basis for an expert witness report drawn to the VCAT practice note.
