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.

Written by our local inspection team from work carried out in Point Cook. Licensed building practitioners.
