Free Instant Quote for Warranty Defect Building Inspection- Melbourne, VIC
Comprehensive Warranty Defect Inspections in Melbourne
When your builder’s warranty is still active, a warranty defect inspection can save you thousands down the track. And here, AUS Building Inspections can help you by conducting detailed inspections during the warranty period (typically within the 12-month maintenance window). It will help you identify any structural defects, poor workmanship, or incomplete finishes.
Our experienced inspectors assess your property with a trained eye and provide a clear, easy-to-understand report that you can share with your builder for rectification. We help you protect your investment before the warranty clock runs out.

Frequently Asked Questions
A: Beyond the obvious surface-level faults, we often detect movement cracks, water ingress behind walls or in wet areas, poor sealing in bathrooms and laundries, underperforming insulation, and ventilation issues in roof cavities. These issues aren’t always visible to homeowners until serious damage occurs—our inspection prevents that.
A: Yes, part of our inspection includes verifying whether the work aligns with the National Construction Code (NCC) and relevant Australian Standards. Builders sometimes cut corners—especially with waterproofing, flashing, and fall requirements in wet areas. We document all non-compliances so you can hold them accountable.
A: Definitely. If your builder is uncooperative, we can provide expert witness documentation and further support, including advice on escalating the matter to VCAT (Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal). Our reports are written in a way that’s suitable for legal purposes and builder dispute resolution.
A: Yes, early signs of structural movement, like minor cracking, uneven floor levels, or sticking windows, are all picked up in our inspections. Catching these early during your warranty period can lead to foundation or frame adjustments before the problem worsens and becomes a major cost post-warranty.
A: Frequently missed areas include the roof space (inadequate insulation or gaps in sarking), external drainage fall, moisture ingress around windows and doors, and even poor tile finishes in bathrooms. These small oversights can impact safety, performance, and value if left unresolved.
