If you have questions regarding the quality of recent work undertaken in your home, A building registered consultant can help. SHS Building Consultants are experts in establishing if building work is defective and most importantly WHY the work is considered defective. It is sometimes easy to see what may be wrong, but if your builder doesn't recognise it as a defect what can you do?
Well firstly there is the Western Australian Building Commission. They have been tasked to deal with most building complaints and will be able to
- order the parties attend conciliation if it appears to the commissioner worthwhile to do so;
- make a building remedy order or home building work contract order (up to a limit of $100,000 for rectification work or $500,000 of payments); or
- if the matter is too complex or outside of the monetary limits above, refer a dispute to the State Administrative Tribunal or
- Dismiss the complaint
To enable the commissioner to understand the complaint a building consultant can offer an expert opinion that
(1) identifies the defective work
(2) identifies the building code or Australian Standard breach and
(3) identifies what must be done to fix it.
