In constructions projects, it is common for certain elements of the work to require rectification, whether before or after practical completion. While some rectification work may be relatively minor, in other cases, the required rectification work can be far more costly. Regardless of the scale of the issue, we are equipped to assist.

Typically, most residential construction contracts include a provision for a defects liability period. This is a useful mechanism to be incorporated into a building contract, however, the defects liability period usually only lasts 6-12 months. This might be a cause for concern when defects begin to manifest after the defects liability period has expired.

Fortunately, homeowners can also rely on their statutory rights, in addition to their contractual entitlements.
