The traditional approach to building defects?

The traditional approach to building defects can be quite a disjointed and lengthy process. Usually a defect becomes evident in a particular area of a building when a problem is encountered by either an owner or an occupier. The specific defective item is then typically examined by a builder, who may fix the defect if it’s minor and considered to be non-structural. If the builder deems the defect to be a mid to high risk issue, an engineer would then be engaged to provide the detailed scope of remediation work required.

The traditional approach involves a building’s defects examined on an individual item basis, which involves multiple visits by builders and engineers – a costly and inefficient process.
