BCI WA’s Comprehensive builders Defect liability inspection 

At BCI WA, we offer builders defect liability inspection services for residential, commercial, and strata properties across Western Australia. Our inspections ensure that any building defects are identified and addressed within the statutory liability period (typically five to seven years post-completion), ensuring you have peace of mind.

Why Choose BCI WA?

Expert Inspections within the Defect Liability Period

Western Australian law requires builders to rectify defects identified up to seven years from practical completion under the Building Services (Complaint Resolution and Administration) Act 2011 (WA). Our inspections help you document & itemise these defects to ensure timely remediation by your builder.

Note: please see your builder’s contract to find the timeframe for your property.

Detailed and Actionable Reports

Our comprehensive builders liability (maintenance warranty) reports ensure you can supply your buidler with an itemised list of any defects. If notified within four months of a Practical Completion Inspection (PCI), builders are obliged to remediate these maintenance defects at no cost to you. This proactive approach ensures a high-quality build and long-term satisfaction and peace-of-mind.
