  • Summary

  • Get ready to elevate your knowledge with Strata Life Podcast, a place where you should go to learn and get inspired on all matters Strata. Welcome back to Strata Life Podcast by Rochelle Castro. In this episode, I would like to discuss with you what to do if your apartment or unit is found to have building defects. There are three key steps that you could do to prepare in compelling the person who is liable to fix the defects. Number one is get an expert report. The expert report could be prepared by a building consultant. It's important that you give instructions to the building consultant to include in the expert report their findings on who is liable or what is causing the defects on the property and the damages to the property. The second step is to get an expert if it's the building consultant or quantity surveyor who could identify the quantum or how much it will cost to fix the defects and also identify in that second report what are the steps to fix the defects. These two key expert reports are the tools, the key tools that will allow you to pursue the person at fault in respect of the defects and the damages that resulted from those defects. And finally, number three, once you have those two tools, you can actually make a demand through yourself or if you prefer a construction and Strata lawyer to pursue and compel the person who is at fault to fix the defects and also the damages that has been caused to your property. Three key steps, crucial in with the two tools before you attack. It's really how I look at it because you need to be able to prove that the person you are making allegations is actually at fault and that experts have said that they are at fault. So those are the steps on what you should do if you find your apartment or unit defective.
