Section 137B Reports

Under the Victorian Building Act 1993, a Section 137B Owner Builder Defects Report is a mandatory requirement for anyone who has carried out building works and intends to sell their property within six and a half years of completion. This inspection provides vital disclosure, ensuring all structural improvements, renovations, or extensions are professionally assessed and documented for the contract of sale.

When You Need It: Inspections are required before listing your property, upon completion of building works, or when requested by a lawyer or conveyancer for the Section 32 statement.

What is Checked: We conduct a thorough audit of structural elements, finishes, and safety compliance, documenting all findings with professional notes and photography.

Professional Reporting: Clients receive a comprehensive Victorian-compliant report that satisfy legal disclosure requirements and protect all parties in the sale.

Vendor & Buyer Protection: Our reports mitigate builder liability and provide prospective purchasers with the transparency needed for a smooth settlement.
