What is a Building Dispute?
In construction, a building defect refers to a flaw or deficiency in a major element of a building that arises from defective design, faulty workmanship, substandard materials, or non-compliance with structural requirements outlined in the National Construction Code. As per the Home Building Act, a major defect is one that renders the building unfit for its intended use, causes its destruction, or poses a threat of collapse. Building defects can have serious implications for homeowners and property owners in Albury, including safety risks, financial losses, and the potential devaluation of their property.

In residential construction projects for Albury, several common building defects can arise, affecting the integrity and functionality of homes. These include significant structural cracks, roof leaks, water penetration resulting from failed waterproofing, windows, or roofs, as well as structural defects in load-bearing walls. It is crucial to understand that these defects, classified as major, carry substantial implications for homeowners.
