Common building defects in Marsden Park NSW

Twenty eight of them are from fixing and waterproofing, thirteen from frame, nine from lock-up, eight from slab and six from handover. The weight sits in the middle of the build rather than at either end, which is a slightly unusual profile and a useful one: it says the money is best spent between frame and tiling, when the structure is set and the wet areas are still open.

FAQ

Common building defects in Marsden Park NSW: common questions

Why is the middle of the build so heavy?

Because that is where this suburb's findings actually fall. Fixing and waterproofing together account for nearly half of what we hold here.

If only one stage were possible, which would it be?

Lock-up, narrowly, because cut bracing and services against structural metal are the findings nobody else will ever make.

Is a long list proof of a bad builder?

Not by itself. The meaningful reading is the structural to cosmetic split, and whether items return after rectification.
