90-Day Defects Inspection Melbourne

Independent inspections to help homeowners identify construction defects within the builder's maintenance and warranty period.

Protect Your Warranty Period

Professional 90-Day Defects Inspection Melbourne

Building Inspections by Delta provides independent 90-Day Defects Inspection Melbourne services to help homeowners identify construction defects within the builder's maintenance and warranty period.

After handover, many issues only become visible once the property is occupied and in use. The 90-day stage is a critical opportunity to document defects while they are still covered under warranty, ensuring they can be formally raised with the builder for rectification.

Our inspections focus on identifying both visible and developing defects so homeowners can protect their investment and maintain accountability during the defect liability period.

Why a 90-Day Defects Inspection Matters

A 90-day maintenance inspection ensures that issues which were not previously identified, or have since become visible, are properly documented and addressed.

At this stage, we help identify:

  • Settlement cracks and structural movement
  • Door and window alignment issues
  • Plumbing leaks or drainage concerns
  • Waterproofing failures in wet areas
  • Paint, plaster, and finish defects
  • Roofing or external maintenance issues

Many defects emerge only after occupation when the building is fully in use and exposed to normal conditions.

A 90-Day Defects Inspection Melbourne ensures these issues are recorded before warranty obligations expire.

Why It's Worth It

Benefits of a 90-Day Defects Inspection

  • Capture defects before warranty expiry
  • Ensure builder rectifies outstanding issues
  • Protect your property investment
  • Provide independent documentation for dispute support
  • Improve accountability during the defect liability period

This stage inspection is an important safeguard for homeowners who want assurance that their property has been delivered to expected standards.
