Building Defects Guide Part 1

Building defects are an ongoing and often hidden risk for strata properties. While some issues may be obvious from the outset, many are latent—only surfacing years after construction is complete. This guide helps owners and strata committees understand the nature of these defects, what warning signs to look for, and how to begin assessing potential liability. Being informed is the first step in protecting your building and your investment.
