Defects found in new construction

In a recent new construction inspection at frame stage for a new home in Mt Duneed, our diligent assessment uncovered several crucial defects.

Defects found in the new construction inspection in Mt Duneed included:

• Substandard installation of bracing boards: Ensuring the proper installation of bracing boards is vital for the structural integrity of the home. Our inspection revealed areas where this crucial element needed attention and rectification.
• Missing brackets: The absence of essential brackets in certain areas was identified during our inspection. Proper brackets play a key role in securing structural components and ensuring the overall stability of the building.
• Steel bolts needed replacing: In some instances, steel bolts were found to be in need of replacement. This is a critical issue as bolts are instrumental in holding key structural elements together.
