I am extremely satisfied that I reached out to Elite Property Inspections for my handover inspection. The defect report was easy to read and many defects I would not know of were outlined.

Brian Wang

I was really struggling with getting my builder to rectify defects around the property as he would simply state that the defects I'm raising were not legitimate. Thanks to Elite Property Inspections, an inspection and defect report were completed which was then closed out by the builder.

Common Building Defects in Sydney

Across Sydney, we often find recurring building defects during our inspections, including poor waterproofing, uneven finishes, cracking, drainage issues, and non-compliant installations. These problems can lead to major costs if left unnoticed. When we complete our checks, we provide a detailed report outlining all visible issues, giving you the clarity you need to take action before it’s too late.

Poor Waterproofing

Poor waterproofing remains one of the most common and costly construction defects in 2025, leading to serious issues like internal water damage, mold growth, and structural deterioration — often due to rushed work or non-compliant installations

Non Compliance With Building Standards

Non-compliance with building standards continues to be a major issue in the construction industry, often caused by rushed work, unqualified trades, or failure to follow approved plans and regulations. These breaches may not be immediately visible but can lead to serious structural defects, safety concerns, and expensive repairs if not identified early

Cracked Walls & Ceilings

Cracks in walls and ceilings are a common defect that may indicate movement in the building structure, poor workmanship, or issues like foundation settlement, water damage, or thermal expansion. While hairline cracks are often cosmetic, larger or widening cracks can be signs of serious structural problems

Poor Finishes & Incomplete Work

This defect refers to visible imperfections like uneven plaster, patchy paint, misaligned tiles, or poorly installed cabinetry and fixtures. These issues often result from rushed workmanship, lack of skill, or inadequate quality control. While they may seem cosmetic at first, poor finishes can affect the durability and overall value of your property and sometimes indicate deeper construction problems.
