In short: Drawn from our own reports: what turns up again and again at handover here.

Roof penetrations

Sealed with the wrong thing or not at all, which is a direct water path.

Isolation joints

Between slab and driveway, frequently not installed at all.

Control joints

Not cut after the pour, so the concrete cracks where it wants to.

Insulation

Loose or out of position in the roof space, which quietly costs you comfort.

Ducting

Tight bends and crimping that restrict airflow before you have even moved in.

Written by our local inspection team from work carried out in Mickleham. Licensed building practitioners.

FAQ

Questions Mickleham owners ask about this

Are these serious?

Some are. Roof penetrations and ducting affect performance, not just appearance.

Should I delay handover?

That is your call with the contract. The report hands you the itemised list to negotiate from.

How many items is typical?

It varies. Legitimacy matters more than count.

Do you rank them?

Yes, defects are separated from maintenance and cosmetic items.
